How to Stay Humble in Prophetic Ministry
Maintaining an attitude of humility is essential in the prophetic ministry. Otherwise, elitism creeps in and grows up to characterize prophetic individuals and groups.

Will You Ignite a Righteous Revolution?
God is looking for believers who are willing to fight to restore the biblical foundations in our country. Are you ready to answer the call?
When I was a child, one of my favorite parts of the school day was when my teacher would open her big black Bible and read us a Scripture verse.
