Genesis 1:27 says that God created man in his own image, in the image...

“The righteous cry and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.” Psalm 34:17 (KJV)   Many people are wondering why they have not succeeded. “Why did things not fall through for me?” They are quick to ask. My question is: Are you hooked up with God or are you doing your own thing? Do you take time to inquire from God in the place of prayer,...

The Visionary, The Reader and The Runner. The visionary is someone who gets the vision and he has to write it. The scripture says make it plain upon tables that he may run...

  “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”  Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) It is important that you find out what God’s agenda is concerning a thing so that you don’t run in vain.
