Matthew Chapter Twelve.
Friend, throughout verses one through 40, we read how the Pharisees were hating on Jesus (lol). Jesus continued to heal the sick and perform miracles even on the Sabbath Day.

Only God Can Do It!
I am currently attending Dr. William Knox’s “The Gathering of the Remnant” in Wrens, GA. This is a kingdom movement for those who are still remaining in God, seeking God, desiring more of God, standing for God despite circumstances, etc. Lastnight, the program was titled, “The Altar Experience”. Friend, I will be honest. When IContinue reading “Only God Can Do It!”
