You have power so you can be a witness of Jesus wherever you go. The power is not just to feel...

The Apostle Paul said we are to put off the old person and put on the new person created in God’s image. (Ephesians 4:22-24) The early church was a Spirit-filled church and a power-filled church.

Take the power of Holy Spirit wherever we go: to work, to the grocery store, to school, to our family, to...

God wants us to excel in the grace of giving. When we give to Him first he meets all our needs and gives us plenty left over to give others.

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will al...

Your destiny is always to make God known (Psalm 139:...
