    We must have God's authority and power with us if we are to fight the spiritual warfare in these last hours. We need faith to reach out and take hold of God's promises like the Woman with the issue of blood who took hold of the hem of his garment.

    Grab Hold of the Authority and Power of God We live in a time when so many in the church have taken on the attitude of the people who lived in the Land of the Gadarenes in Luke chapter 8. I won’t go into the history of the land of the Gadarenes except to say that many of those who lived there ...read more
