Faith That Works Miracles

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Nov 15, 2021

To receive our miracles, God expects a demonstration of our faith. Even when God appears to be silent, faith doesn’t walk away. Faith catches God at His word. Faith finds reasons to believe when there are reasons to give up.
