It is time to move.

But there was a greater miracle about to happen. Read more and see what it was and why we shouldn’t always react.
Do you find that sometimes your prayers aren’t answered. Have you ever wondered why? Maybe the reason is that you are speaking your own words and not God’s Word. The Bible states that His Word will always prosper and do the job that it was sent to do.
When your bill needs to be paid and you can’t pay it, do you expect a miracle. God has better for you and it’s called provision. The ability to believe God’s Word and see it come to pass. It’s also called faith. This blog will show you the difference and how to go from miracle to provision.
