    We're glad to hear about the Holy Spirit moving. But what if the Holy Spirit is not blowing in the U.S.A? Are we without any resources? NO! God allowed Ezekiel to "Prophesy to the Wind/Spirit." If he can initiate a Spirit-move, so can we!

    Satan does his best to thwart the plans of God and the preaching of the gospel, but he is a defeated enemy because God has anointed the church with the Holy Ghost and fire!

    DON’T MESS WITH US DEVIL By Pastor Jim May One of the marks of a true church and of a true Born Again Child of God is that they have power at their disposal beyond anything that the world can produce or that Hell can gush forth. In Acts 1:8, Jesus said these words to the disciples before He ...read more

     | 4,842 views

    Questions! Questions! Questions! If God knows everything why did he ask so many questions of so many people? Through the questions God addressed to Adam and Eve after the fall into sin we learn why God asked many of his questions.

    This morning I am going to test your knowledge of the Bible—specifically the Old Testament. As I quote a series of questions I want you to identify the person to whom God was speaking. Here are the questions. “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?” (Genesis 4:6) Of whom did God ask ...read more
