Putting Complete Confidence in God given Peterborough Canada 2 August 2008 |
| Our relationship with God must certainly be two-way: talking to Him through prayer, while listening carefully as His scriptures instruct us. But even more is required if we are to become one of His Spirit-born children. That miracle so often requires us to "stand still" (Ex 14:13) - in total confidence - as He personally converts us from what we are, to what He requires. (13.0 Mb) | ||

Restore All Things given Wales UK 5 July 2008 |
| A prophecy given by Jesus Christ is that "Elijah truly shall first come and restore all things" (Matt 17:10-11).
