     | 12,010 views

    The Word tells us to speak to the mountain and it will move. Our words are powerful and we will get what we say. Therefore, you want to speak life not death.

    What you say is critical to your walk and to those around you. God created the earth and everything in it by the Spoken Word and the Holy Spirit. Jesus was raised from the dead by the Holy Spirit. You and I have that same Holy Spirit with the same authority as they did at that time. If you can wrap ...read more

    We may be citizens of a certian country or state, but our membership of the Kingdom of God is more important, and should take priority over all our other allegiances.
