The deeper we plunge into prayer, the clearer His ways and thoughts become to us (Isaiah 55:8-9). The mysteries of God’s ...read more

    Those who belong to Christ are identified with Him not only in words, but they should live like Him in their deeds. We should have a desire to surrender and offer ourselves as His servant first, and from that springs life in the Spirit.
