    based on 1 rating
     | 6,687 views

    Abraham and Lot were both saved men, but Lot was like many of the fathers today. The way Lot lived his life, it is difficult to believe he was saved.

    Abram had been accompanied by Lot in all his wanderings. But a separation must take place between them. Abram and his seed were to be kept distinct from all other races, as from him the promised Messiah was to spring. This also was brought about by what seemed a series of natural circumstances, ...read more

    The Armor Of God 8 Of 8

     | 1,182 views

    Many times when it comes to preaching on the armor of God, some preachers will stop with verse 17, but that is a mistake.

    WHY IS THAT A MISTAKE? Because when you talk about putting on the whole armor of God, you need to include the weapon of PRAYER in verse 18. In our study of the armor of God we have seen that we must ... • TAKE THE GIRDLE OF TRUTH • TAKE THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS • PUT ON THE SHOES OF THE ...read more

     | 7,292 views

    The lame man, like many Christians today, didn't get his miracle in the agitated waters, because he didn't position himself close enough to the revival zone. If you want revival, you must get and stay as close as possible to the Holy Spirit.
