When I Am Weak…
I’ve been combing through my journal entries from a few years back, reviewing the process of writing The Fall and came across this. Hopefully, those of you who think you don’t have what it takes to seek God on a regular basis will see there’s no surefire formula. He takes our weakness, and flows through
The #1 Key Ingredient to Powerful Prayers
The power of blessing and cursing really is in the tongue. It’s not only the rudder for our individual lives, it’s the rudder that guides the course of the whole world. It’s effects even reach into the spiritual world, into the eternal world. “Speak it!”
A Prophecy of Hope
