Galatians 4:6 NLT And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba Father.” This verse makes me want to squeal in my loudest voice, YES! And if you’ve heard me talk, you know I have a loud voice. There are […]
John 15:7 is one of those awesome verses that you just got to savor. “If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”

When Jesus said follow me, He was talking to you too. God told the Israelites in Joshua 3 to follow the Ark of the Covenant because they had never been where God was taking them. You have never been where you are right now before. You have never been where you are going before…so you […]
