Contributed by Brett Crosson on May 1, 2019

Walking in humility, repentance and a greater anointing Humility is a key to seeing God move and for Him increase you in the anointing. Biblically speaking, Humility has a lot to do with fasting and vise-versa. Fasting had to do with mourning. Jesus was asked: why don’t your disciples fast. He ...read more
