    God uses different means to bring us to our knees. When we really fervently pray, mighty things will take place. Let the church rise to her full potential by collectively calling on His name.

    Many people today are in a place in their lives or doing something that they thought they would never do. This goes to show the aggressive nature behind sin. Shirley the words of Jesus are true when he said thief, comes but to kill steal and destroy.

Hazael became the king and God’s Word was fulfilled. But I would like for us to consider the response of Hazael ...read more

    We grow soft and cold without it. Sometimes it takes the fire of persecution for us to seek the fire of God.

    1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them that ...read more
