There is a mystery at the heart of the believer’s life:
You can be opposed… and still stand.
You can be hated… and still be blessed.
You can be attacked… and still remain untouched where it matters most.
That is a mystery.
Hell’s Best Effort—Still Not Enough
“Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” — Matthew 16:18 (KJV)
Jesus never promised absence of conflict—He promised ultimate victory.
Hell can push.
Hell can fight.
But hell cannot prevail.
Reviled—Yet Called Blessed
“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you…” — Matthew 5:11 (KJV)
This is where the mystery deepens.
What feels like rejection on earth
is recognized as blessing in heaven.
To suffer for Him
is to be identified with Him.
Persecuted—But Not Forsaken
The apostle Paul captures this mystery perfectly:
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” — 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 (KJV)
This is the believer’s reality:
Pressed—but not crushed.
Confused—but not hopeless.
Persecuted—but never abandoned.
Knocked down—but never destroyed.
Why?
Because God’s presence does not leave under pressure.
Untouchable in What Matters Most
“Nothing shall by any means hurt you.” — Luke 10:19 (KJV)
This is not denial of pain—it is revelation of protection.
Your body may be struck.
Your reputation may be attacked.
Your circumstances may shake.
But your life in Christ?
Untouchable.
The Indestructible Life
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” — Colossians 3:3 (KJV)
Hidden life is secure life.
It means:
What God has placed in you cannot be uprooted by people
What Christ secured for you cannot be undone by opposition
What heaven started in you will not collapse under pressure
Reflection
This is the mystery:
You can go through fire—and not be consumed.
You can face lions—and not be destroyed.
You can be persecuted—and not forsaken.
Not because you are strong—
but because He remains.
So when life presses you…
Don’t misread the moment.
Don’t call it defeat.
Call it what it is:
A revelation that what God built in you
cannot be broken.
That is a mystery.

Not all tragedy looks like failure. Some of it looks like success…
activity…
consistency…
religion.
And yet, beneath it all— there is no life.
That is the tragedy.
A Form Without Reality
The apostle Paul warned: “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…” — 2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV)
The form is there.
The language is right
The practices are consistent
The appearance is convincing
But the power—the life of Christ—is absent. It is possible to look alive…
and still be empty.
That is the tragedy.
Close—But Unknown
Jesus describes people who did much in His name:
“Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name…?” — Matthew 7:22 (KJV)
They were active.
Visible.
Engaged.
Yet He says:
“I never knew you: depart from me…” — Matthew 7:23 (KJV)
Not “you once knew me.”
Not “you fell away.”
“I never knew you.”
That means all the activity never became relationship.
That is the tragedy.
The Deception of the Form
A form of godliness is dangerous because it reassures without transforming.
It allows a person to:
Feel spiritual without surrender
Appear righteous without change
Continue confidently… while drifting quietly
It replaces connection with performance.
And performance can never produce life.
Where the Power Is Lost
Jesus said:
“Without me ye can do nothing.” — John 15:5 (KJV)
The issue is not effort— it is absence.
When Christ is no longer the source:
Prayer becomes routine
Scripture becomes information
Worship becomes expression without encounter
The form remains—
but the power is gone.
God’s Verdict
Scripture does not treat this lightly:
“…from such turn away.” — 2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV)
Because a powerless Christianity
does not point people to Christ—
it hides Him behind activity.
The Only Escape
The answer is not more doing—
it is returning.
“Abide in me, and I in you…” — John 15:4 (KJV)
Back to:
Relationship over routine
Presence over performance
Christ at the center—not just included
Because only what flows from Him
carries life.
Reflection
You can have:
The form… and miss the power
The activity… and miss the relationship
The name… and still be unknown
And that is what makes it tragic—
Nothing looks obviously wrong.
But everything is fundamentally missing.
So ask yourself honestly:
Is Christ my life…
or just part of my life?
Because in the end, the greatest loss will not be failure—
It will be standing before Him
with a life that looked right…
but never truly knew Him.
That is the tragedy.

Key Texts:
Galatians 6:10; Genesis 1:31; 1 Peter 3:9; Romans 12:14; Matthew 25:34–40; Psalms 37:23 (KJV)

🌅 Every Day Carries Opportunity

“A lifetime” is not just a stretch of years—it is a continuous stream of God-given opportunities.
Galatians 6:10 (KJV) says:

“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men…”

This means opportunity is not rare—it is constant. Every interaction, every moment, every decision is a chance to do good.

🌍 God Designed Life as Good

From the very beginning, God established a pattern:
Genesis 1:31 (KJV): “And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.”

Life itself is rooted in goodness. So when we choose to do good, we are aligning ourselves with God’s original design.

🤝 Doing Good Reflects God’s Nature

We are called not just to exist, but to reflect God through our actions:

1 Peter 3:9 (KJV): “…not rendering evil for evil… but contrariwise blessing…”

Romans 12:14 (KJV): “Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.”

Choosing good—even when it’s hard—is a powerful testimony of God’s character in us.

👑 Eternal Value of Daily Opportunities

Jesus made it clear that everyday acts of goodness carry eternal weight:

Matthew 25:34–40 (KJV) teaches that feeding the hungry, helping the needy, and showing kindness is counted as service unto Him.

What looks like a small opportunity on earth is often a great reward in heaven.

🛤️ Guided Steps in a Life of Purpose

You are not walking this journey alone:

Psalms 37:23 (KJV): “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord…”

God not only gives opportunities—He orders your steps into them. Nothing is random when you walk with Him.

✨ Devotional Reflection

Your lifetime is filled with divine appointments disguised as ordinary moments.
A kind word, a helping hand, a prayer, forgiveness—these are not small things; they are opportunities to manifest God on earth.

Don’t wait for “big moments.” Seize the daily ones.

Prayer

Lord, open my eyes to see the opportunities You place before me each day. Help me to choose good, reflect Your nature, and walk in the steps You have ordered for me. Let my life be a vessel of Your goodness in Jesus’ name. Amen.

God does not always speak in parables.

There are times when men see and do not perceive, hear and do not understand—Matthew 13:13–15, KJV. But there are also moments when God speaks with such precision that ambiguity dies and misunderstanding is no longer possible.

In those moments, God is not concealing truth—He is declaring it.

He becomes exact.

He names the promise:
“This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.” — Genesis 15:4, KJV

He defines the outcome and the means:
“Behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.” — 1 Kings 20:13, KJV
“Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces.” — 1 Kings 20:14, KJV

He answers the question of responsibility:
“Who shall order the battle?” … “Thou.” — 1 Kings 20:14, KJV

He settles the limitation:
“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9, KJV

He commands movement:
“Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.” — Exodus 14:15, KJV

He ends a season:
“How long wilt thou mourn for Saul…? fill thine horn with oil, and go.” — 1 Samuel 16:1, KJV

And when necessary, He closes the matter:

Moses pleaded,
“I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land…” Deuteronomy 3:25, KJV

But God answered,
“Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.” — Deuteronomy 3:26, KJV

No parable.
No ambiguity.
No appeal.

When God speaks with this kind of clarity, the burden shifts.

Like in law, once evidence is established, the burden of proof moves. The question is no longer whether God has spoken. The question becomes what you will do with what He has made unmistakably clear.

Clarity is mercy but it is also a summons.

It removes the covering of ignorance.
It strips away the refuge of delay.
It exposes the heart.

At that point, hesitation is no longer caution—it is resistance.
Delay is no longer process—it is disobedience.

Moses heard,
“Speak no more unto me of this matter.”
The conversation ended.

Israel heard,
“Go forward.”
Standing still was no longer faith.

Ahab heard,
“Thou.”
Delegation was no longer an option.

Paul heard,
“My grace is sufficient for thee.”
Asking again would not produce a different answer.

Samuel heard,
“Fill thine horn with oil, and go.”
Mourning had expired.

When God has spoken this plainly, heaven goes quiet—not because God is absent, but because He has already made Himself clear.

Silence, then, is not distance.

It is expectation.

You are no longer waiting on God.
God is waiting on you.

The matter has been spoken.
The instruction has been given.
The responsibility has been assigned.

There will be no second word to replace the first.

Only this remains: Obey what God has already made unmistakably clear.

True worship is not merely an outward expression, it is a spiritual act energized by God Himself. Many are active, sincere, and disciplined, yet something essential is missing: power. Without divine enablement, worship becomes routine and service becomes effort without eternal impact.

1. Power Begins with Receiving Him (Salvation)
   “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” — John 1:12 (KJV)
   The first step into spiritual power is salvation—receiving Christ. This is where divine life begins. You are not just forgiven; you are empowered to become.
   Without salvation:
   Worship lacks spiritual reality
   Service lacks divine authority
   Effort lacks eternal value
   You cannot worship acceptably until you have first received Him.
3. Without Christ, Nothing Works
   “I am the vine, ye are the branches… for without me ye can do nothing.” — John 15:5 (KJV)
   Not “a little.” Not “less.” Nothing.
   This establishes total dependence. Salvation connects you to the Vine—but more is required for consistent, fruitful living.
4. The Path to Spiritual Power
   God’s pattern for effective and acceptable worship and service unfolds in three progressive steps:
   (1) Salvation — Receiving Life
   You receive Christ and are given power to become. This is the foundation.
   (2) Sanctification — Being Set Apart
   Sanctification is the process of being cleansed, separated, and aligned with God’s will.
   “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” — John 17:17 (KJV)
   Here, the believer is prepared—habits change, desires shift, and the vessel is made ready. Without sanctification, power can be misdirected or resisted.
   (3) Baptism of the Holy Ghost — Receiving Power
   “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” — Acts 1:8 (KJV)
   This is the empowerment for effective service. The Holy Ghost supplies boldness, ability, and spiritual authority.
5. The Critical Question
   “Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?” — Acts 19:2 (KJV)
   This question reveals a gap many ignore. It is possible to be saved, even growing, yet not fully empowered.
6. The Result: Effective and Acceptable Worship and Service
   When these three are in place:
   Salvation + Sanctification + Holy Ghost Baptism = Power
   Then:
   Worship becomes living and acceptable
   Service becomes effective and fruitful
   Life becomes pleasing to God
   Without this progression:
   Salvation alone gives life but limited expression
   Lack of sanctification hinders purity
   Absence of the Holy Ghost limits power
   God desires the complete work, not a partial experience.
7. Why Many Miss the Power
   The missing power often comes from:
   Stopping at salvation
   Neglecting sanctification
   Ignoring the need for Holy Ghost empowerment
   As a result, people try to substitute effort for power—but effort cannot replace divine enablement.
   Conclusion: The Promise Still Stands
   God has made this power available—not to a select few, but to all who will receive and walk in His order.
   “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” — Acts 2:39 (KJV)
   Final Reflection
   If worship feels empty…
   If service feels burdensome…
   If results seem absent…
   The issue may not be your sincerity—it may be missing power.
   Return to the path:
   Receive Him (Salvation)
   Yield to His work (Sanctification)
   Be filled with His Spirit (Holy Ghost Baptism)
   Then your worship will be acceptable, and your service will truly satisfy the heart of God.

Psalms 39:5 (KJV)
“…verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.”
Opening Thought
We spend much of our lives striving toward a better version of ourselves—stronger, wiser, more disciplined, more in control. We measure growth by progress and maturity by how little we seem to need help.
Yet this verse quietly confronts that entire pursuit.
It does not speak of man in failure, but man at his very best—and still declares him altogether vanity.
When Strength Feels Real
There are seasons when you feel steady.
Your thinking is clear.
Your habits are working.
Your confidence is rising.
You are not struggling like before—and without realizing it, something begins to shift inside:
You start to lean on yourself.
Not openly. Not intentionally.
But subtly.
A quiet independence forms.
The Reality Beneath the Surface
Psalms 103:15–16 (KJV)
“As for man, his days are as grass… the wind passeth over it, and it is gone…”
James 4:14 (KJV)
“…It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”
No matter how stable you feel, the truth remains:
Your life is brief.
Your strength is fading.
Your control is limited.
Even at your peak, you are still a breath sustained by God.
The Root Issue: Sufficiency
At the heart of it all is one question:
Am I enough?
And Scripture answers clearly:
2 Corinthians 3:5 (KJV)
“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.”
Not partially.
Not occasionally.
Completely.
Your best thoughts, your discipline, your consistency—
they are not evidence of your independence, but of God’s sustaining grace.
The Subtle Danger
The greatest danger is not failure—it is feeling sufficient.
Because when you feel strong:
Prayer becomes less urgent
Dependence becomes less natural
God becomes less central
Not rejected—just quietly replaced.
The Invitation to Humility
Psalm 39:5 is not meant to discourage you—it is meant to reposition you.
It brings you back to the only safe place:
Not self-confidence, but God-confidence
Not self-sufficiency, but God-dependence
Not striving to be enough, but resting in Him who is
To live rightly is not to become independent—but to remain intentionally dependent.
Selah — Pause and Reflect
Sit with this honestly:
Where in my life do I feel “at my best”?
Have I begun to rely on myself there?
Do I seek God as deeply in strength as I do in weakness?
Let the Spirit search you gently.
A Closing Prayer
Lord,
At my very best, I am still in need of You.
Forgive me for the quiet ways I begin to trust in myself when I feel strong.
Teach me to remember how brief my life is and how dependent I truly am.
Let me not build my confidence on what I can do, but on who You are.
Keep me humble, keep me near, and keep me dependent.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

There is one appointment in your life that cannot be rescheduled, delayed, avoided, or negotiated.
It is not with a boss.
It is not with a doctor.
It is not even with destiny as men imagine it.
It is with God Himself.
The Word of God declares in Hebrews 9:27 (KJV):
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
This is not poetry.
It is a verdict.
Your life is not drifting aimlessly.
It is moving—day by day, breath by breath—toward a fixed moment already written into eternity.
You may ignore it.
You may deny it.
But you cannot escape it.
⚖️ Death Is Not the End — It Is the Door
Men speak of death as if it ends everything.
Scripture reveals the opposite.
Death is not an escape—it is an entrance.
Not into silence.
Not into unconscious rest.
But into judgment.
There are no appeals there.
No second chances.
No rewriting of your story.
What you are becoming now is what you will stand as then.
Death does not change you.
It reveals you.
🧭 Two Conditions, Two Endings
Proverbs 14:32 (KJV):
“The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.”
Death does not meet everyone the same way.
The wicked are driven away—
Forced out of time.
Unprepared.
Unwilling.
Uprooted from everything they trusted.
The righteous have hope—
Not fear.
Not confusion.
But expectation.
The same moment—two completely different outcomes.
So the real question is not:
Will you die?
But:
In what condition will death find you?
Because when that appointment arrives,
everything hidden becomes visible.
💎 What Heaven Calls Precious
Psalms 116:15 (KJV):
“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.”
This is a sobering truth.
What terrifies men…
Can be precious to God.
But not for everyone.
Only for His saints.
Why?
Because for them, death is not loss—it is arrival.
The end of striving.
The end of resisting.
The end of walking by faith.
And the beginning of seeing Him as He is.
But this promise draws a clear line.
It does not say all deaths are precious.
It says the death of His saints is precious.
So the question presses deeper:
Are you truly His?
🔥 The End Is the True Verdict
Ecclesiastes 7:8 (KJV):
“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof…”
Men celebrate beginnings.
God evaluates endings.
You can start well and end in compromise.
You can appear righteous and die empty.
You can be admired on earth and be unknown in eternity.
Your end is not just a conclusion.
It is a revelation.
It is your eternal introduction before God.
🚪 The Irreversible Appointment
Death is the dividing line between:
Mercy → Judgment
Opportunity → Finality
Time → Eternity
Once you cross it, everything is sealed forever.
No repentance in the grave.
No correction beyond the veil.
No negotiation at the throne.
Everything you postponed becomes permanent.
Everything you ignored becomes final.
This is why this is the most important appointment of your existence.
🪞 A Question You Must Answer
If this appointment came today—
Would you be driven away…
Or received with hope?
Would your death be precious in the sight of God…
Or the tragedy of a life that resisted Him?
Would your end confirm a walk with God…
Or expose a life lived without Him?
🙏 Final Call
Do not comfort yourself with time—you are not promised it.
Do not comfort yourself with religion—it cannot save you.
Do not comfort yourself with intentions—they will not stand in judgment.
Prepare.
Repent while your heart is still tender.
Turn while mercy is still extended.
Walk with God now—so you will not fear meeting Him then.
Do not delay.
Because the most important appointment is already set.
And when it comes—
Eternity will not wait.

Beloved Apostolic Faith Church Family,

As Easter dawns once more, our hearts are filled with gratitude to God for the priceless gift of His only begotten Son, whose sacrifice secured our salvation. Among the many beautiful truths woven into the Easter story, one detail has stirred my thoughts deeply in recent days—the stone rolled away from the entrance of the tomb (Mark 16:1–5).

The stone was not rolled away so that Jesus could come out, for the risen Christ is not confined by barriers, seals, or guards. Rather, as Scripture tells us, it was moved by the angel of the Lord (Matthew 28:2) so that others could see inside.

It was rolled away:

for the grieving women, that their sorrow might be relieved
for the doubting disciples, that their faith might be restored
for every generation since, that we might behold the undeniable truth that the tomb is empty, and Christ is risen!
God did not conceal His resurrection power behind the stone. Instead, He revealed it—making a way for all who are bound by sin, fear, sorrow, or uncertainty to see and believe that our Savior lives, hallelujah!

The stone also represents a barrier that cannot be moved in our own strength. Today, many stand before their own “stones” of sin, fear, regret, shame, or disappointment. These obstacles can feel immovable, and indeed they are too great for us. Yet, we are reminded this Easter that no stone is too heavy for the resurrection power of God to roll away! And He not only delivers us from what has us bound, but also empowers us to step into His purpose, His grace, and the fullness of His resurrection power.

This Easter, God invites us to draw near, to look by faith into the empty tomb, and to declare with renewed conviction: Christ is risen indeed! May the power of God roll away any stone that might be hindering you today, granting you the same assurance, joy, and victory experienced by the disciples on the first Easter morning. May you encounter Him afresh and come away with a deeper love for our risen Savior.

With love and Easter blessings,
Sola Adesope

Beloved Apostolic Faith Saints:

In the spring of 1906, gathered inside a simple home located at 214 Bonnie Brae Street in Los Angeles, California, a group of people began to pray for revival. It was exactly 120 years ago today—on April 9, 1906—that after ten days of prayer and fasting, several of those who were gathered received the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

News about this outpouring spread quickly, and soon crowds began to gather outside to hear William Seymour preaching from the front porch of the Bonnie Brae Street home. When the crowds became too large for that home, the group found a new location on Azusa Street, where our founder, Florence Crawford, would soon join them. She had been saved before then, but when she joined the Azusa meetings and sought the Lord, she was sanctified and later baptized with the Holy Spirit.

What started as a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Los Angeles soon spread to Portland when Sister Crawford arrived here in December of the same year. She brought with her the message that the Pentecostal experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost could be received by saved and sanctified believers. Some people received the Holy Spirit even on her first day in Portland, and during the past 120 years many more have continued to receive the same experience.

For 120 years now, the Apostolic Faith Church mission has been to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Over the years, we have witnessed many lives, once shattered by sin, be transformed—souls have been saved, sanctified, and baptized with the Holy Ghost. From our humble beginning to this day, the Spirit of the Lord has moved mightily—just as He did on the Day of Pentecost when the first disciples were “all filled with the Holy Ghost” (Acts 2:4).

Today, as we thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit, we also honor those who came before us—the pioneers of faith who prayed without ceasing and carried the flame of revival down through the years. Yet even as we celebrate the past, we do not dwell there. Thank God, the Holy Spirit who came on Pentecost, at Bonnie Brae Street, and at Azusa is still moving today. We unite in prayers and stand in expectation of another outpouring of the Holy Spirit to usher the Church into glory.

To mark this 120th anniversary, let us renew our consecration to God and pray fervently that He will rekindle our passion and love for Him as we seek a fresh outpouring of His Spirit. May our generation burn with the same fire of the Holy Ghost and pursue God with the same hunger and devotion as those at Bonnie Brae and Azusa. May we have a purpose to preserve the ancient landmarks that God has established, and may we continue to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3).

In Christ,
Sola Adesope

A Devotional on Joshua 3:5 & Matthew 5:8

“Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” — Joshua 3:5 (KJV)
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” — Matthew 5:8 (KJV)

🔥 The Hidden Connection

These two verses are separated by centuries—but united by one truth:

👉 Purity precedes revelation.
👉 Consecration precedes manifestation.

In Joshua, God is about to open the Jordan River—a miracle.
In Matthew, Jesus reveals who truly sees God.

Both answer the same question:

Who experiences God deeply?
Not the curious. Not the casual.
But the consecrated and the pure.

🕊️ “Sanctify Yourselves” — The Demand Before the Wonder

Israel stood at the edge of impossibility. The Jordan was overflowing. No bridge. No strategy.

Yet God did not say:

“Prepare your weapons”
“Study the river”
“Organize yourselves”

He said:
👉 “Sanctify yourselves.”

Why?

Because God’s wonders are not triggered by human readiness—but by spiritual alignment.

Sanctification is not outward performance. It is:

A heart laid bare before God
A will surrendered
A life separated from hidden compromise

God was saying:
“Before I change your situation, I must address your condition.”

💎 “Pure in Heart” — The Qualification to See God

Jesus goes deeper.

Not just clean hands.
Not just religious activity.
👉 “Pure in heart.”

The heart is the unseen center:

motives
desires
secret thoughts
private loyalties

To be pure in heart means:

No mixture
No divided allegiance
No hidden idols

Purity is not perfection—it is singleness.

A pure heart says:
👉 “God, You are my only pursuit.”

⚡ The Penetrating Truth

Put the two verses together and you get a sobering reality:

👉 You will not see the wonders of God if your heart is divided.
👉 You will not experience God clearly if you are inwardly compromised.

Many want:

miracles without consecration
encounters without purification
God’s hand without God’s holiness

But God says:

“Sanctify… and you shall see.”

🪞 A Mirror for the Soul

Ask yourself honestly:

What am I holding onto that God is asking me to release?
Where is my heart divided?
Do I desire God—or just what He can do for me?
Is there hidden sin I have normalized?

Because the greatest barrier to seeing God is not distance—it is impurity.

🌊 The Promise: Wonders and Sight

These verses don’t just confront—they promise:

Joshua 3:5 → Wonders among you
Matthew 5:8 → They shall see God

Not maybe. Not occasionally.

👉 Certainty.

When a life is consecrated and a heart is pure:

God becomes visible in ways others miss
His voice becomes clearer
His power becomes evident
🙏 A Closing Prayer

Lord,
Search my heart beyond what I can see.
Remove every hidden impurity, every divided desire.
Teach me to sanctify myself—not outwardly alone, but inwardly in truth.
Make my heart pure, single, and wholly Yours.
That I may not just hear about You—
👉 but truly see You and experience Your wonders.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
