     | 1,969 views

    Let us consider how open doors might be great opportunities to trust God's plan. Do we pray the prison doors open instead of see the opportunity to advance the cross?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 29, 2021
     | 3,307 views

    The nine disciples had insufficient power to deliver the boy who had a spirit. I believe that many Christians would also fail this test. Why? We need a bigger connection to the Holy Spirit by prayer and fasting.

One of them asked him, “Dad, if you die, who will inherit your new Tesla?” 2. He pondered the question & said, “If I pass away on an even day, the son born ...read more

    Joy needs to be experienced in the journey of life! But Joy, like any other attitude, can come and go. It is not guaranteed simply because we are born again believers. We must put ourselves in the places where experiencing joy is a possibility.
