We are so under attack by forces unseen that Christianity could lose its wholesome name. Too many spokesmen are fighting to prove their interpretations are best. It is not that they have found some new word from God. They only want to show that the others are all wrong. God´s enemies might be celebrating. But... Continue Reading →
Desire After God
There has never been, nor will there ever be, a person filled with more of the Spirit of God than they should have. It is impossible because God is infinite.

The Next Encounter
Humble worshippers who want to meet God can and should have their encounter. When we finally wake to the realization that we have been ushered before God, we will be repaid in full.

A Privileged Walk With God

Christian history is also filled with remarkable people and their amazing stories. They all enjoyed privileged positions with the Spirit. His presence... Continue Reading →
