The Irresistible Word!

The Irresistible Word!

One of the greatest messages the Church needs to hear in this hour is that through the Lord Jesus Christ we possess the power to speak the irresistible Word of God with power and authority.

NOTHING is Impossible

NOTHING is Impossible

Mar 9:23 Jesus replied, “Why do you say ‘if you can’? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS FAITH!” ANYTHING is possible for someone who has faith… Wow.
