Psa. 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” This verse has been special to me for many years. It was actually the one the Lord used to speak to me in 1977 that ultimately landed me back home in …
Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.

MERRY MONDAY BY PARRIS BAILEY- “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 1 Peter 1:23 Every Saturday morning after Beyond the Grave, I wake up and spend thinking about the ones that went up to receive Christ.

John 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit”. Sometimes the things we appreciate the least or seldom think of are the most important things. What am I talking about, things like air or water. They are so common and abundant that we never …
Psa. 46:4 ¶ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. Far too often, the missing ingredient in the church is joy. As C.S. Lewis famously said, “Joy is the serious business of heaven”. Jonathan Edwards also said, “Heaven is a world of love”. …
Acts 9:1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, Do you have bad breath? I am not talking about the stinky kind, but bad breath nevertheless. You see we can only breathe out what we breathe in. The question we have to ask ourselves is this, ‘what atmosphere am …
MERRY MONDAY BY PARRIS BAILEY– “I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; …
