"Our Identity In Christ (Iv): We Are Children Of God”

In this present pandemic crisis, many are pondering on these questions. I prayed to God for healing, restoration, for growth... but my prayers were not answered at least not as expected. Does God decide not to hear my prayers? Is he despising me?

A child of God releases healing and other deliverances from his life by the authority given by God. That same God exercises his ...read more
