The Holy Spirit Leads By PEACE

When a thought brings FEAR, DESPAIR, or PRESSURE, it is NOT from the Lord! Isaiah 55:12 "For you will go out with JOY, and be LED FORTH WITH PEACE". Be assured that the Holy Spirit will always lead you with PEACE. He is a perfect gentleman and He promised to LEAD us, not PROD, or [...]

Giving is Faith in Action

Why You Will Be Mistreated in Marriage

***Disclaimer: By “mistreated” I am not speaking about abuse*** Being hurt by our spouse or hurting our spouse is the last thing we ever think of when we are planning our wedding, right?

Do Our Loved Ones Become Birds, Butterflies, or Angels?

What's the harm in thinking this? Because we should always be endeavoring to think upon the truth. There are always only two thoughts. The truth and a lie. The enemy is so subtle in his attempt to sidetrack us from the truth and coerce us to accept a lie. This type of deception, which falsely [...]
