The Bible says in John 1:1, talking about Jesus, that ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.’ In other word, Jesus is the Word of God.

It is not God who withholds answers to our prayers— He sends the answer the minute we pray — there are forces out in the heavens endeavoring to intercept those answers. The angel told Daniel, “Your prayer got through the very first day.” Let’s examine Ephesians 6:12. It begins, “For we wrestle____” Who’s “we”? The Church. Paul is writing to the New Testament Church—to believers everywhere. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood . . . .” That’s our troub... »
