READ MOREBy His Shadow There Was Healing
By His Shadow There Was Healing Yesterday we asked about supernatural healing as spoken about in Acts and the power that flowed through Peter and John and being the vessels for healing others.

A Brief Study of Romans Day 3: Battle of Flesh and Spirit This is my life everyday. It is a constant re-minder to stay as close to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit throughout the day.
