    To emphasize the importance of understanding and being willing to pay the full cost of completely surrendering to and following Jesus.

     | 4,403 views

    IT’s TRUE: We MUST keep the main thing the main thing. Walking humbly before God in contrition of heart over our sins and that of our nation ought to be one of these main things. Or else we get caught up in hyper grace, knowing truth but never being set free.

    Walking in humility, repentance and a greater anointing Humility is a key to seeing God move and for Him increase you in the anointing. Biblically speaking, Humility has a lot to do with fasting and vise-versa. Fasting had to do with mourning. Jesus was asked: why don’t your disciples fast. He ...read more

Biblically speaking, Humility has a lot to do with fasting and vise-versa. Fasting had to do with mourning. Jesus was asked: why don’t your disciples fast. He ...read more
