‘’Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold…’’ 1 Peter 1:18 KJV     The kingdom of God is not a game of convenience.

“Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.” Proverbs 6:2 KJV     Even though your victory as a child of God is already assured, do you know that you can abort your miracle through negative confession? Often, we give in to pressure and exchange the symptom for the real thing. Yes, you have prayed and God has...

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.’’ Romans 4:21-22 KJV     Being fully persuaded simply means you have a confident assurance that God has your back covered even in the face of failure. It is a state of refusing to waver even when the evidence is on the contrary. You know...
