There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success. I want to see something positive happen.” That is not what God is after. God is not ...read more

     | 932 views

    So many things seem to control our lives. So what, or who, controls your world? Are you at the mercy of something that has a grip on you that keeps you from being who you want to be? Or have you found the answer to what will best give you the peace you are looking for? We all have a choice.
