Differently Gifted

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 22, 2018

What you think you know about spiritual gifts, is probably wrong, in ways that actually inhibit ministry rather than encouraging it.

Occupying In Prayer And Warfare Series

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Apr 27, 2018

Prayer is not a mere routine or ritual. Prayer is actually a spiritual confrontation with the kingdom of darkness. When we pray, we are wrestling; we are engaging in a fight, a battle or warfare with forces and powers of darkness.
