The issue I have seen in the lives of many believers is that they don’t live like they have real joy in their hearts. They have Christ in their lives but they do not seem to be experiencing real joy that is found in Christ alone. Bible Verse: John 16:22 (NKJV) “Therefore you now have … Read more
There’s a divine principle that begins in Genesis and runs through the entirety of Scripture: God blesses those who bless Israel. This is not just a poetic idea or a passing Old Testament promise.
