Tear Open The Heavens And Come Down

Growing Better In Bad Times

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God Him raised from the dead, you shall be saved.

THE WORD OF FAITH THAT WE PROCLAIM. Romans 10:8-13. For Moses, the word was ‘nigh thee, in your mouth and in your heart, THAT YOU MAY DO IT’ (Deuteronomy 30:14).
