Out of the Abundance of the Heart
Let's pray, Friend! I don’t like unspoken prayer requests. That’s odd, I know, but I find it hard to pray for something if I don’t know what it is. Prayer is based on faith. To pray in faith, to be in agreement, I need to know what I’m praying for. If I don’t know what … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Contend for the Supernatural: It’s an “us” thing.
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light.
