    THE DESIRE FOR POWER IS OFTEN THE DOORWAY FOR THE DEMONIC. These men couldn't be bound by chains but they were certainly bound by Satan. They were almost completely under the control Satan, enslaved to him.

    God hears us loud and clear the first time when we call on Him, He is ready, willing and able to help us, the moment we do. The thing is though, we don’t have to pray pleading, desperate prayers all the time to get His attention.

    You have the Authority “so use it” Exodus 14:15–16 NKJ 15. And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it... The issue with Christians today is ...read more

He is in the last few days prior to the crucifixion. Having entered Jerusalem triumphantly, He had returned twice since, entering ...read more
