     | 11,867 views

We must be wholly submitted to Jesus to use it. - Dean Sherman(1) The name of Jesus is the most powerful weapon in spiritual warfare. Jesus is the Word (Jn 1:1, 14), and by the Word and through His holy name “the ...read more

That is, he gave his listeners a voice to public express what they believed. One reason many people like to read the Psalms in the Old Testament is ...read more
