Let Overflow Begin!
The second foundation to staying on the road to lacking nothing is demonstrated in Mark chapter 10. It is the story of the rich young ruler. This young man was hungry for more of God in his life. He asked Jesus what he could do to inherit eternal life. When Jesus...
Two Points in Time
“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24). We’re still talking about the prayer of faith – the kind of prayer that receives from God what legally...
Examine Every Thought

Redeemed – Spirit, Soul, and Body
