Baptismal Birthings

They had a call for a baptism and it was in that moment where I realized I had to lay down everything that I’ve been holding onto, all that I gripped with my fists because I didn’t believe that God could offer me something better in exchange for. I had been dancing during worship for …

Command the Miracle

When unbelief stifles expectation, the only way to bring forth the miraculous, is to command it. This testimony of an El Salvador missions trip shares the breaking out of healing after a man who had a humped back, straighten, and he started walking, running actually.
