Mighty fortresses seem impenetrable. Everyone who traveled past the city of Jericho could see how tightly shut up the city was. Jericho was the fortress of safety for Canaan. All of the surrounding towns would have come into Jericho for protection against the massive ranks of Israel's soldiers amassing on the border. The children of …
21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Children and Grandchildren – Day 6 Walking on Water
When asking God for miracles, we need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Why is it important to remember this? Because, we generally only need miracles when we are in an epic life-storm.

...forgiveness brings peace and life. Forgiveness is casting all our cares upon Jesus, because he cares for us.

40 Days of Prayer and Fasting – Day 22- Birth Pangs
Friends, when the kingdom of God is ready to be birthed, those who walk through it will experience things that they never thought in a million years they would ever experience. But the birth pangs bring about the birth. The birth is the kingdom of God- something we haven't seen with our eyes or held with our hands or heard with our ears.

How Being a Slave Gave Me Value. A politically incorrect blog.
"The translation of doulos by 'servant' rather than 'slave' [led] to the total effacement of its ancient significance (1965: 319). This ennobling title means the believer belongs to the Lord, who constantly "gives Himself away" in infinite love, through faith. Indeed, the doulos (slave) of Christ is His very Bride (cf.

This is possible because the believer is joined to Christ as a genuine member of His very body (Jn 14:20; 1 Cor 12:13).
A Call to Fast to End Abortion part 2
