Closeness to God Is Only Through Christ by PETER AIELLO for Charisma News Hebrews 11:6 says: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Christianity is more than the sum total of the things that we do for the God. Jesus said: “Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.…

In a sense, a preacher is called to break the heart, a pastor to…

According to a survey conducted for the book, a whopping 87%…

With Authority and Dominance The Lions Mane Shakes: Prophetic Vision by Joe Joe Dawson Ministries The Lord recently gave me a powerful prophetic vision in a corporate prayer meeting.
