Ephesians 1:17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him, 1:18 –since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened–so that you may know what is the Hope of His calling and His glorious…

3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. We are Father God’s beloved children NOW. He has given us all we need in Christ Jesus for the rest of our journey here on Earth. He has empowered us by the Holy Spirit to be the…
