“Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him.” – Mark 8: 22 Something that awed me in this passage were the “some people” who brought the blind man to Jesus, and literally “begged” Him for healing. That word “begged” reminded me of groaning. They…
“Mordecai sent this reply to Esther: “Don’t think for a moment that because you’re in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed.”— Esther 4:13 Most often we are cocooned in a privileged position. Especially when it comes to financial, educational, and other opportunities, sometimes push us into a zone of passively…
“Escape”- We all run too far from handling things that weigh us down, from those struggles, those relationships and those negativities that arise without warning. We run by saying, “it’s okay.

I was confessing the specific promises that God had been speaking so clearly and constantly; through His Word. As I began, I was very excited. I knew that I knew that I knew, it was God. But, after sometime, I felt anxiety creep in like never before. Have you been there? Where, you have received…
