There is so much of God that we have yet to discover because we have limited faith. Limited faith sometimes looks like going to church, serving with all of our free time, and reading prayer books while also neglecting personal intimacy with our Father. Pastor Christian Powell said,“Time spent with God is more important than [...]
One of my mom’s friends, Mrs. Jenny, planned a trip to the Live Original Tour in Myrtle Beach. She kindly invited my family to attend with her family and youth group! About a week after my family was invited, my mom casually told me about it. She did not even realize it was the same [...]
Fear chokes out freedom. On the outside, your life may seem as perfect as it can be; but on the inside, there’s something holding you back from true life and freedom. The struggle within you is seen by God. He knows the anxious thoughts that pass through your mind. It hurts His heart to see [...]

Spiritual warfare is no joke. The enemy is constantly seeking to devour God’s children. Sometimes we have to literally remind the enemy that we’re not afraid of him. We have already overcome him and his army because of Jesus’ power that lives within us. Read the following words as a victory song: Devil, You know [...]
