“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you,Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10 NKJV) Early Friday morning, I was walking around with a piece of wall art in my hand trying to find the perfect place to hang it on a wall.  Not just any wall, and certainly not a hidden wall, but a wall where all...

“By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive , even past the normal age for it, because she considered Him who had given her the promise to be reliable and true .  So from one man, though he was as good as dead, were born as many descendants as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand on the seashore.” (Hebrews 11:11-12 AMP) Yesterday I told you...
