A few days ago, I could hardly sleep. I woke up thinking on the Word and unable to stop it. Coming up in me was Isaiah 55:10. I opened it my Bible and read: Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, and does not return ... »
First Corinthians 6:17 says, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” We are one with Christ. We are with and in Christ. We are seated at the right hand of the Majesty on High. All things have been put under our feet. The thin... »
