    So many people and churches are missing their harvest because they do not understand three important things. Harvest is a consequence, process and a season. Once we understand these then we can apply the implications and reap the benefits.

Maybe for most of us here in this rural area - it is fields of wheat and harvests as in our title frame. But what does a harvest look like for you? Is your harvest about finances? To ...read more

    Prevailing Prayer

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Oct 15, 2008
