Surprise!
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think” Eph.3:20
God can do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think. The Biblical definition of surprise is to cause to feel wonder, astonishment, and amazement.

Key Thoughts V
“If you want to be My disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters… your own life… So you cannot become My disciple without giving up everything you own. Luke 14:26 & 33 [emphasis added]

Economize!

By the time the war was over, the allied forces had lost only Read the rest of this entry
