     | 3,896 views

    It’s in our human nature to fight, we just need to be more choosy with our limited ability and choose to only fight for the battle of faith and what God has promised!

    Wow...Faith Did That? Psalms 68:1-3 NKJ Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. 2 As smoke is driven away, So drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3 But let the righteous be glad; Let them ...read more

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 2, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,179 views

    The reality of the resurrection is the center piece of the Christian faith. It means the last enemy has been defeated, Hell and the grave has been conquered, the Law has been fulfilled, the sacrifices completed and the justice of God has been completely satisfied.

    After the week of passion, who would have ever thought that three days later things could change so drastically? The scene at the tomb was the conclusion of an age old conflict. This was the promised fulfillment of God's plan of redemption and restoration. Finally the walls of separation were ...read more

    What you believe can change everything! Noone expect the report of the spies to promote distrusted in God's power and promise. How much we are robbed by our own doubt, unbelief and mental attitude! Dare to believe and possess the Land.

    You are called to be more! You are called to be a giant slayer You would think that nothing could have kept Israel from entering the Promised Land after being so close to it for forty days. They waited on the borders of Canaan for the return of the spies. They were poised to enter Canaan Land. ...read more

     | 3,244 views

    This was not the despairing cry of a helpless martyr; it is the declaration on the part of the divine Redeemer that all for which he came from heaven to earth to do, was finished. The great purpose of God in the history of man was now accomplished. "It is finished."
