    “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NASB1995) If you look up this word “rejoice” in the Greek Interlinear, you should discover that this word “rejoice” has to do with experiencing and...

    The Lord has repeatedly HEALED me of desperate pain

    Here’s how i get deliverance from awful nagging pain. When i feel ongoing pain and have prayed and prayed, and the pain just remains, i sit down and confront it with the name of Jesus. Its so hurtful to think God just sits back and watches us suffer and wont provide an answer. But, if you...

  9. What do you pray? Post some examples for others to learn. God Bless!

  10. Where The Answers Are...

    I was in my local Food Lion looking for my snacks. Couldn't find them. Wandering the aisles I finally asked an employee. "It's over there, " he said as he pointed. "You would have found your answer earlier if you had just looked up." I smiled. "You mean to tell me, if I had just looked up I...
