    The very simple parameter to know the will of God for your daily life actions and decisions is, even after your fervent prayer, if you still struggle to go ahead with your decision which is the clear parameter that it’s not the will of God.

     | 12,496 views

    I see way too many Christians ineffective in their life because the devil has them tied up in knots. And in the Scriptures, God tells us as Christians what to do, but we are just not doing it. And I believe that it has to do with us not knowing how to resist the devil.

    Introduction I would like to begin today’s sermon by asking you a couple of questions? Here is the first question. If someone, in your life, that you trust tells you to do something, how likely are you to do what they tell you? I would say that if I trust them that I am likely to do what they say ...read more

    Jesus calls us to be salt and light. A watching world needs to "taste the Lord and see that he is good." People need our preserving influence, and they need to see the light of Christ shine through us. You may be the only Bible some will ever read.

Do you ever wonder, “Why am I still on this earth?” I tell you, there is no greater satisfaction than to know you have been used by God himself to touch ...read more
