    Many believers desire God's miracles but are not ready to obey His commands. To witness God's wonders, we must first dedicate our lives to Him. Please rate this sermon and provide brief feedback.

They prefer preachers who focus solely on material blessings rather than living for God. But the truth is, if we want to experience miracles from God, we must first ...read more
