2013 Was A Indeed A Year Of Favor.

   My Pastor declared 2013 as the year of favor and indeed I experienced favor in every area of my life.  There are so many things that God does for us and we don't even put them in account, we tend to look for the big miracles before we declare the goodness of God in our lives. The fact that you are alive and in divine health is a reason to praise His name. You were able to provide shelter, food and clothing for yourself and your loved ones is another reason to praise His name.  Many people lost their loved ones from unnecessary shootings all over the world, either in schools, malls, movie theatres, etc.
You received abundance of grace from the God's Word and experienced a visible change in your spiritual life is another reason to praise the Lord.   I know most of us had many outstanding testimonies, at the end of it all, even if you feel nothing special happened to you in 2013, because you are reading this, that means you survived and it is enough to praise the name of the Lord. 

Now let's make sure 2014 will indeed be our Year of Greatness, our Year of Greater Glory.  Let's open our hearts to the Word of God and let the Spirit of God take us to the best level.   God bless you and Happy New Year!

God Satisfies My Mouth With Good Things!

Psalm 103:5,  "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's."

Have you observed the life of an eagle? An eagle bird can live up to 70 years. That's a longevity even for a bird.  Well, it is also a fact that when an eagle gets to about 30years the physical condition deteriorates, it becomes difficult for it to eat, fly, survive.  What happens is that the bird retires to the mountain top and starts knocking off its beak by banging it against a rock, it will pluck out its talons, pluck out its feathers. The eagle experiences a regrowth of each body part that was removed and within the period of five months, the eagle is as good as knew and can live for another 30-40 years. 

In view of what we now know about the eagle bird, look at the theme verse again, pay attention to the tenses used in the verse. It is something that's happening right now, God satisfies my mouth with good things and my youth is renewed like the eagles. It is possible for us to live a life where we are constantly regenerated like the eagle. God told us how; the power is in our mouths and we gotta use that power!  We have to say the Word, we need to put the word in our mouth, say what God said about us continually, why? So our youth can be renewed. What do I mean by our youth renewed? Well, remember all that you used to do when you were younger? Yeah, you had strength, vigor, gusto, ability, power, strength, health, even joy and all that. You know what I'm talking about, God does not want us to loose that fire just because our years are increasing.

For instance, you can always say, "I have the mind of Christ."  I Corinthians 2:16.  That means you have a sharp mind, a sound mind. Your being conscious of this, saying it often keeps your mind active even when you get older. 2 Peter 1:4 says that we are partakers of divine nature.  Since God does not get sick, sad, weak, poor..that's the way we are too because "as He(Jesus) is, so are we in this world. 1 John 4:17."  There are so many verses in the Bible God has given to us. When we put God's Word in our mouth, we are saying the same thing God has said about us. As you continue to say it, you are renewing your youth like that of the eagles. Remember Romans 10 : 8, 'But what does it say? "The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith we preach)'  We really do not have any excuse and don't let unbelief take you away from your blessing and your right.

If you are yet to give your life to Jesus, please click here, read the article and say the words in red.

Please click and follow my blog. http://www.onlybibleverses.blogspot.com/  You can read it from your phone and meditate on it any time through the day, put the Word in your mouth.  See, this is our lifestyle, it is a fight of faith and we can't stop, we won't stop.
Thanks for reading my blog, God bless you real real good in Jesus name.

About Christmas!

Google image.

I love Christmas! I think almost everybody loves Christmas too. With all the heavy preparations, the music, the decorations, gifts, parties, home-coming, family gathering, even the cold weather, white snow blanketing the landscape etc. The euphoria is enough to keep people away from the real reason of Christmas.  However, there is more to all these in Christmas.  We should learn to appreciate the real reason for Christmas.  No, I'm not trying to be a wet blanket, I love Christmas too, I love all the hooplah of the season. I'm gonna put up a decoration too..I hope to attend some parties as well :)

You see, I was at the nail shop and this Vietnamese guy who is obviously not a Christian responded that he was getting ready to do some Christmas decorations but he doesn't believe in Jesus and I regret that he didn't let me talk to him about Jesus  Jesus is no longer the baby in a manger! He grew up!  There was a reason for His coming into this world, not just for us to have some nice Christmas period and it ends there.  People are dying and going to hell because either nobody told them about Jesus or they didn't believe. Of what purpose is it that somebody celebrates Christmas every year and still end up in hell not because of his/her sins but because he /she wouldn't or couldn't receive the salvation Jesus brought for us all. 

Jesus came to save us, We are the reason for Christmas. He came so that we can have life and have it more abundantly. John 10:10.   We must tell it to the world so that as we eat our Christmas goodies we will also remember the most important goody of all...HEAVEN!!   Unless you openly confess Jesus as the Lord of your life, believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you are doomed forever. This is no joke.

Romans Chapter 10 verse 8-10 says, "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
What are you waiting for? Open your mouth and make that confession if you have not yet done it, Say, "Lord Jesus, I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead and I confess you as the Lord of my life."  Then find a Bible believing church and join so you can learn more about Jesus and your new life in Christ.  It's really not hard, that's why the Bible said that the Word is near you, even in your mouth. You only gotta believe and confess it.   I
f you just did this, congratulations to you! Welcome to the family of God!!
Now let's make Christmas fun and tell the world why Jesus came and yes...have a merry Chrsitmas in advance! XOs to you all.

Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!

'Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!'  We all say that sometime...when I say we, I mean Christians.  So recently,  the Spirit of gave me an opportunity to see something about this quote. Let's see the story behind the saying.

Matthew 16: 13 -23, When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying,“Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.  And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.  And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ. 

From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”

 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

You see, Peter has just been commended by Jesus for the revelation God gave him identifying Jesus as the Christ...(it takes the Holy Spirit to know that Jesus is the Son of God).  Jesus prophesied on Peter, declaring what God will do through Peter in the near future.  Well, Satan heard those words and he didn't waste time to strike by using the same Peter to try dissuade Jesus from fulfilling His mission on earth. Imagine, Peter trying to rebuke Jesus to stop Him from getting killed.  Well, Jesus knew it wasn't Peter talking and immediately told the devil to be gone.  Why didn't the devil speak through John, James, Phillip or any other apostle...why Peter? It is because Jesus prophesied over, connecting him to the Church He will establish on earth. Satan came to do his job on Peter, those words from Jesus were red alert. This is what Jesus told Peter in Luke 22: 31-32, "And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."  
We need to be careful when we receive prophecies so we do not get deceived by the devil. We ought to be prayerful, vigilant and allow the Holy Spirit direct us so we do not make wrong decisions that can keep us away from fulfilling our destinies. Remember Abraham was told by God that he will have a son, well what did he do? He and Sarah decided to help out by involving the maid Hagar to get pregnant, the world is still suffering from the result of that pregnancy.  Maybe Peter allowed the prophecy to get to his head and decided to caution Jesus, the moral of this story is for us all to allow the Spirit of God direct us in everything, our words, thoughts and actions.  God bless you. 

Hearing By The Word!

Romans 10 verse 17 is a popular verse for most Christians, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."   I love this scripture and I know most pastors love it. I hear them quote it all the time. They always teach us to pay attention to the Word of God, so we can have and grow our faith; which by the way is very important because without faith, we cannot please God...Heb 11:6.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  As you study or your listen to the Word of God, you are receiving and increasing your faith; God also gives you the capacity to Hear by the Word. You can take this physically or spiritually. A deaf ear can/is unstopped by the Word of God. You may be going through a situation that you absolutely have no clue on what to do, and all of a sudden; you find your spirit giving you answers on how to tackle the problem as you are meditating on the Scriptures.  That's why it's important when you study the Word of God, don't do it in silence! Open your mouth and declare the Word. Your Spirit man, that is the real you, needs to HEAR THE WORD. THERE'S POWER IN CONFESSING GOD'S WORD. Your Spirit man must be fed to be strong, so you can reign in life over sickness, disease, infirmities  poverty  failure  devil etc. That spirit man only feeds on the Word because it is born of the Word. As we take care of our physical body, we also need to take care of our inner/spirit man.

Our Lord Jesus said in Mathew 13: 13-16, ^"Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.   And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive;  For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear."

15 Just like one can be physically deaf, one can also be spiritually deaf and spiritual deafness can only be healed by the Word of God. To be spiritually deaf is worst than physical deafness...it is the reason why some people never understand the Scriptures, they make a mockery of God's Word, they don't see the power of God's Word, the importance of the Holy Spirit, the miraculous etc. To them Christianity becomes a mere religion, void of power. If you find yourself in this situation, you need to make a change fast. Start paying attention to the Word, ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, ears and to give you understanding of the Scriptures so you can have fellowship with the Him and live the life of the miraculous that you and I were created for.

The Word of God is wonderful and you can never go wrong with it. The Word of God is alive, when we hear God's Word, it produces faith, sharpens our senses, minds, spirits, it sanitizes our spiritual ears to hear more from God. We are able to catch signals from the spiritual realm. We start seeing things differently, viewing life from the mountain top and the issues of life become bread for us.  The Word of God is Christ given us in a message and is energized by the Holy Spirit. The Word of God is the Power of God that saves us completely in all things..Romans 1:16.

Faith Speaks!

Faith is believing God's Word.  Faith is really not hard. It simply means to say no to anything that is contrary to the Word of God. God wants us to give Him our 100% trust, not looking to the left nor to the right.  To walk in faith, you must refuse to consider what you see with your optical eyes. Remember, true faith must be voiced. Faith has a voice. It is not enough to believe the Word of God only with your heart...you must also give voice to what you believe before you can experience the change you seek. Romans 10:10 NKJV...."For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
The Word of God is given to us so we can learn how to talk like God; for we are created in His image and can only enjoy life when we start paying attention to HIM. Hebrews 13:5-6 NKJV, "For He Himself has said,....So we may boldly say.."   God wants us to speak HIS language...the Word.
When you hear the gospel and you believe, then your must speak the Word to live the life God has designed for you. That is faith. Faith speaks...the righteousness of faith speaks. II Corinthians 4:13 NKJV..."And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak."

Do You Believe This?

Hello Readers,

Google image.

Well, you must wonder what the world is turning to with all the terrible news we hear everyday.  People are being slaughtered anyhow..it's like the human life is now worth a dime a dozen.  However, you must not give up, you must not allow yourself to be troubled if you are in Christ.  A child of God can never die, we just pass on from one glory to the highest level of glory!  Jesus said in John 11 verse 25-26,
"...I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.  And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” 

Jesus made this remarkable statement to Martha before he raised Lazarus from the dead. Obviously, Martha either did not understand or believed Jesus because of the question Jesus asked her in verse 40 of the same chapter.  I believe the Master is also asking us this same question today. "DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?"  Do you trust Him with your life? Do you believe that as a Christian, you can never die?

Never let fear take over your life. Submit yourself to prayer and to God's Word of God.  Let the Word be your ultimate guide in life. A Christian can never die! In fact a Christian does not feel the pain of death because Jesus tasted death for every man.

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man." (Hebrews 2:9).   

You must believe it, it's the Word of God and it's true. Know that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and you can never loose.  It's a win-win situation for the Christian, it's either we stay here and keep winning or we go to heaven which is even more glorious.  When you wake up in the morning, pray, dedicate that day to the Lord. Pray that you will be at the right place at the right time and no evil will befall you and your loved ones in the name of Jesus.  The days for lukewarm Christianity are over, we all need to be strong in the Lord, strong in faith and encourage one another in love. Read your Bible, meditate on the Word of God, go to church, have fellowship with God, with your brothers and sisters in the Lord and then let the will of God be done in your life.  It is well.

Being Justified By Faith...

Google image.

     Beloved of God, greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I just want to briefly brush on this amazing truth about us the new creation. It is not just amazing, it is also unbelievable for the natural man. The Bible said that we have been justified.  Justification means that we are NOT GUILTY.  For all the sins we committed, God said we are not Guilty! No Charge! Yep, that's right.

Romans 5: 1 says, "Therefore being Justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ."


It would have made sense if God said, I forgive you and stops there. However, He went further to call us justified.  It doesn't make God a liar, it doesn't mean that God now tolerates sins. God is Holy, He is Holy.  We are justified because of what Jesus did.  Jesus paid the price for all our sins and He gave us a new life which cannot sin and cannot be tainted by sin. 
We have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. ( 2 Corinthians 5:21). We have the nature of God in us, the man that sinned is no longer alive, the sinner died with Christ and now has a new life. It doesn't matter that your mind remembers your sins, God does not remember. Hebrews 8:12 says, "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."
The Bible said in Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." (NIV)  You see, when Jesus died, we died with Him and when He was raised, God raised us up together with Him..Romans 6:4, 2 Timothy 2:11.

Remember, Jesus was chastised for our peace Isaiah 55:3.  For all the sins we committed, all the sins we will ever commit, Jesus paid for them all. The Bible said that the soul that sins shall die..Ezekiel 18:20...however, according to Hebrews 2:9, Jesus tasted death for every man. So the legal demands of our sins were paid in full by Jesus when He gave His life for us. Colossians 1:14 says that it is in Christ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
It would have been enough if God said, our sins are forgiven and ends it there, but He went further to say we are not guilty because the person who committed the sin died with Christ..it is a gift from God. Romans 3: 23-24 says, "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God; and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."  People are quick to quote the first part that says..'all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God...' but they don't see the second part that says we have been justified freely.  That's why the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is called the good news. If you receive Jesus as the Lord of your life, you will NOT go to Hell, but the devil does not want people to know this truth; hence, the attack on the church. God loves us y'all. He paid for our sins,  "...for God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ."  2 Corinthians 5:21. 
Jesus died for you and me..receive Him today and escape hell..cos if you don't and you die, too late...you will be meeting the devil in hell period. 
If you want to receive Jesus as your Lord just say this short prayer,  "Dear Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus is Your Son, who came and died for me, I believe that you raised Him from the dead..I confess Jesus Christ as the Lord and I ask Him to come into my life and be the Lord of my life for ever."   If you made this confession, Welcome to God's Kingdom. God bless you, you are saved according to Romans chapter 10 verse 8-10.   Just make sure you get yourself into a Bible believing church so you can learn more about Jesus and His ways, you need to fellowship with other believers and have your mindset renewed with the Word.

God bless you and I love all my readers but Jesus loves you more

The Devil Is After Your Tongue.

As I continue to study the Word of God, I continue to have increased revelation of the scriptures and I love it. The Word of God is so sweet. It is the most interesting book in the World and I mean that both figuratively and literally.

Well, to the topic above...every child of God should know that the devil is not his or her problem, it is your tongue that is your problem and that is what that devil is after.  Nothing evil can happen to a Christian without his or her permission. I'm talking about a true practicing Christian here. The one that goes to church, pays his/her tithes, fasts and prays, even wins soul for our Lord Jesus.  The enemy can do nothing to you without your permission!   He reads the Bible you know and he knows the rights of a Christian, unfortunately many of us seem not to care enough to find out about our rights. A Christian is NOT of this world..see John 15:19, John 17:14. If you are a Christian, you are from above, we hail from God. 1 John 4:6, we are born of God. John 1:13. 

According to the book of Genesis 1:26 God made us in His image after His likeness (His character). This means we need to find out the operating law of where we belong.  The Bible is the only book that God gave to us to tell us who we are and how we are to operate in this world.  Romans 12:2 says that we should not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of our minds.  God created the earth with His Words, therefore since we are made like Him, we must use our words to create our world too. 

Job 22:28 says, "Thou shall also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee..."  

Proverbs 18:7,  "A fool's mouth is his destruction and his lips are the snare of his soul."  

Proverbs 18:20-21, "A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth  and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.  Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."   

Proverbs 21:23, "Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles." Proverbs 12:14, "A man shall be satisfied with the good fruit of his mouth."  

There are so many Bible verses advising us on the use of our tongues that I can't write them all here. Our Lord Jesus even told us in Mathew 12:37 that we are justified or condemned by our Words. 

How does the devil come after the tongue of a Christian? By creating negative circumstances around you so that you can observe and say them out..and once you say them, they are yours. Job 22:28. It could be a doctors negative report, it could  be even be your financial status, it could be a pain you feel, a thought that came to your mind, he wants to keep your imagination running wild on things that are negative. Before long it comes out of your mouth, "..for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks!"  Luke 6:45.

As long as that thing is contrary to the Word of God, NEVER VOICE IT OUT!  Say What You Want To See, Not What You See..especially if you don't like it.  It's a discipline that you must adhere to, it the law of the Spirit. It doesn't matter that you may be ignorant of this law, it is either working for you or against you. 

This is also good news!  If I can have whatever I say, then I start talking right..that means the power is in my hands to change whatever I don't like. It may take a while before it shows up, but it will show up. Be patient, consistent, persistent and never give up, or give in. What ever do you do, never give the devil your tongue  That's what he wants! Remember, what ever negative situation you may face is subject to change, just locate what God said about it in His Word and put it you mouth, God's Word never returns void. Isaiah 55:11.  

This talking right takes practice, the most important thing is to be conscious of what you say, if you make a mistake, change it and say the right words...Jesus said we should "...take no thought saying, what shall we eat or drink or what shall we wear?"...Matthew 6:31.  When the enemy push those negative thoughts into your mind, refuse to accept it, you accept it when you confess it, you endorse it when you say it. Therefore, take no thought saying anything negative..Get your Bible and fill your mouth with the Word of God. Say what God has said about you. Let's change our world with God's Word, for the Word always work!

The Lord Is My Shepherd...

The Lord's prayer is one of the Bible chapters that most of us with Christian background remember so easily and to some it is almost like a recital they say impassively. However, it is important that we attach our entire emotions and mean the words that used in this chapter 23 of the book of Psalms for they are powerful word of prayer...

Psalm 23...
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
² He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
³ He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

Do you know what it means for the Lord to be your Shepherd?  A Shepherd is the person that tends, nurtures, guides and leads his livestock or even people to a place of complete rest and peace. A Shepherd protects, watches over his flock to make sure that no harm befalls them and also that they do not stray.

If God who is the Creator of the entire universe, who is Almighty and All Powerful and who is Love is your Shepherd, you just know that you have it made. What else can you ask for? The problem is that most people don't even believe it, some allow the challenges of life to overwhelm them that they forget that the Lord watches over them lovingly.

The Psalmist by the power of the Holy Ghost prayed this prayer. Look at the verse 2, God will make you, that is cause you to lie down in green pasture..A place of abundance...and still waters. He will make sure you have peace all over and with quietness and assurance. He will always refresh your soul with good things, with new things.

God will cause you to walk in His Righteousness...remember God fulfilled this when He made us His Righteousness in Christ Jesus; this was why Jesus came...to make us the Righteousness of God in Him. He does this for His name sake why? Because we are God's product.  His name is upon us, we are created in His image and glory.  "...For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."  Ephesians 2:10 NLT.

The name of Jesus is named over us..we are not of this world, we hail from God..We are His offspring.

Yea, sometimes, you find yourself going through challenges in life..some of them may seem overwhelming, but you should know that God is with you, His rod and His Staff will always be there to protect and comfort you.  "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you."  Isaiah 43:2.  You can take this Scripture both literally and figuratively. God's loving arms are always stretched over us in protection and in love..but in other to enjoy His love, we must first believe in His love...God is not mad at us, if it's sin, Jesus paid for our sins already.  We must take advantage of His love and draw nearer to Him receive help in time of need.

Nobody can successfully harm you if you are with God. He has prepared a table for you in the presence of your enemies. Breaking bread is another way of looking at this verse 5. God gave us the powerful tool in communion. His body to eat and His blood to drink. Read Corinthians 11 verse 23-26.  (I try to break bread everyday).  In another view, anyone that makes himself or herself your enemy is in trouble for God will fight for you.  "All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish."   Isaiah 41:11.

God has anointed us with His Oil..Yeah!! We got the Holy Ghost! He lives inside of us. We are King-Priest. There are two people that are could be anointed with oil, King or Priest....And God has made us to be both of them. We are kings and priests..that's why we are anointed with oil.  "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."  Revelation 1:6.  Moreover, God's Goodness and Mercy will follow us, pursue us and haunt us down all the days of our lives and we know we are forever in His presence. What else can we ask for? So next time, when you are saying the Lord's prayer, let every word of that prayer roll off your tongue with meaning, with power! It is not an empty prayer, it is a power-packed prayer. Mean it from your heart and watch your life turn around. Revelation brings power, which brings a change.  God bless you good.
