    Oh Victory in Jesus, my Savior forever! You see, a lot of people know the words to that song, but where’s the Victory, very few are experiencing the Victory in their lives! It is way past time that we took back, what the enemy has stolen from us, from all

    I Can, I Did, and So Can You As I set back, reflecting on what I was going to talk about this week, I was thinking, in the past few months we have seen 4 Americans murdered in Ben Gazzi, One of the most damaging hurricanes on record and as a result, homeless families by the thousands.

    Maybe you have been pursuing the Promised Land for a while; and much of your journey has been filled with spiritual heartache and pain and you may be wounded. If so, then you need to receive spiritual healing from the Lord.

    Jesus' hometown is initially intrigued by His message, but that goes south quickly. What can we learn from them about our desire for truth?

    AMAZED: Nazareth was initially impressed with Jesus’ words. - Luke 4:22. - Review the message in vv. 18-19. - There is a mix in their reaction. - On the one hand, they are impressed. - On the other hand, they wonder how such words could come from Joseph’s son.

    Do we live our lives in fear or do we live our lives in faith? Scripture tells us to put our trust in God no matter what the circumstances.

Infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams." We never tap into the tremendous ...read more
