The Power of Faith
Sometimes we fail to appreciate the power of faith in our life. Faith is not always something you can put your finger on or describe in long sentences. Faith at times reaches beyond a certain task or attainment, but is a deep-seated knowing that you are destined and ordained according to the purpose of God. The fingerprints of God’s hand on your spirit causes you to look forward and reach beyond current realities and into a place of...
