     | 156 views

    God’s presence with us in life’s darkest valleys brings comfort, courage, and guidance, assuring us we are never alone, no matter the circumstance.

    Some valleys look like hospital rooms with the blinds half-open and the clock moving too slowly. Some valleys sound like the phone call no one wants or the silence after the door shuts. Some valleys feel like midnight at noon—shadows stretching across the heart, courage feeling thin, hope feeling ...read more

     | 2,015 views

    This message discusses the supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit called "Discernings of Spirits" in 1 Corinthians 12:10. This gift unveils the spiritual realm, and its operation often precedes exorcism. It is a protection from deception.

    Intro In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul raises the subject of spiritual manifestations. He lists nine gifts or manifestations of the Spirit. We have examined the first six and now come to the seventh, discernings of spirits. I begin reading in verse 7. “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each ...read more

    The Bible speaks of a faith that is dead and living faith that empowers the Christian life. This study examines the scriptures that teach about faith and explain how that faith is not the product of man’s efforts, but the gift of God.

As I study the scriptures, I realized that there is much I have yet to understand. This study is the result of a lot of seeking and praying. While I believe that God has answered ...read more
