    God calls us to march on through hardships and discouragements.

    I believe the Bible is the most inspiring, encouraging book ever written! I also believe we often miss the fullness of inspiration God desires for us. We miss it partly because we live in a VIDEO world (we would rather watch something than read it). We miss it partly because we live in a very ...read more

    There is nothing more powerful in sparking revival than a visitation from God! An outpouring of the Holy Spirit is born out of a season of prayer and repentance after having experienced some form of hardship or depraved condition.

Fill each heart with thy love. May each soul be rekindled with fire from above. Hallelujah! Thine the glory! Hallelujah! ...read more
