    Often our words, attitudes and thinking patterns sabotage God's plan. We must wrestle not in the flesh and blood. We must wrestle until our change comes. Jacob's life seemed sabotaged until he had an encounter with God. Come let us seek God's presence.

    God’s List Of Do’s And Don’ts (1-3)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 15, 2022
     | 2,887 views

    Often, when God’s man has the courage to stand before the people of God, and declare the whole counsel of God’s Word, it does not earn him any favorable treatment.

    Why? Because he tells them things they do not want to hear. For example, how many would turn to the astrology section of the newspaper, if it told them something like this, “You are a very dumb person, and because of that, some very bad things are going to happen to you today!” They turn to the ...read more
