Hebrews 2:14 2. Rulers of Darkness Put on the whole armor of God, so ...read more

The nine disciples had insufficient power to deliver the boy who had a spirit. I believe that many Christians would also fail this test. Why? We need a bigger connection to the Holy Spirit by prayer and fasting.

In the 14th century scientists discovered that litmus, a mixture of colored organic compounds obtained from lichen, turns red in acid solutions and blue in alkaline solutions and, thus, can be used as an acid-base indicator. ...read more
