    Throughout the Scriptures, there have been times recorded that God would call for a time of divine impartation where an encounter with Him would usher in a process of change that would come in the realm of the Spirit.

    ‘It’s A New Season But You Have To Seize The Moment’ 2 Kings 6:1-6:6 As I look toward the future, I am drawn to the story of Elisha, especially to what happened to him, recorded in 2Kings: 2 Kings 6:1-6 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell with ...read more

    Life can throw some bad curve balls (e.g. death) our way and they hurt . The Scriptures offer us a breathe of fresh air or rather, a breath of fresh hope!

    The pattern is all over Scripture: we cannot separate our vertical relationship to God from our horizontal relationship to others; the vertical always influences the horizontal. This is true in the realm of comfort.
