In a previous message called ” Dealing With The Realm Of The Miraculous” we learned that no matter how things may appear being ‘out of control’ God is always in the midst of the situation working out every detail to set up the circumstances to turn out to the benefit of the “believers”!

Let us consider today how the believer in the Word can be “Walking With Jesus God’s Promised Messiah”

Transforming Power Statements:
