How can anybody deal with spiritual truths if they don’t walk in the Spirit? How could a person DARE to approach a pulpit in front of people hoping to hear from God without preparing himself first? How could anybody DARE to presume they could stand in front of people and say, “God says this and that!”? . . . → Read More: Homiletics 101 So when you get a cold, and God has paid the price for your healing, and you’ve prayed and done what you know you should do, then what?

I have had sniffles, a temperature, congestion, coughing, sneezing, more coughing, and the little . . . → Read More: I Am Healed So I don’t think it’s a sin to say, “I have a cold.” I have a runny nose, deep cough, loss of appetite, slight temperature, and Dumbo is sitting on my head.
