  “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” James 4:6 (KJV) The attitude of the believers that gives him victory in every battle is to rest absolutely in the grace of God.

In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (KJV) I’m so excited and confident that the plans and purpose of God concerning you would surely come to pass irrespective of the challenges.

Jeremiah 29:...

  “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4 (KJV) The God that we serve does not jump ship. He knows how to stick with His people.

  “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7 (KJV) In our present-day, Churches have become benefit-oriented.

“And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughter.” Genesis 5:22 (KJV) God is doing a new thing and things are not as we used to know.
