I was raised as a cessationist. That means I was raised to believe that all miracles and revelations and spiritual gifts ENDED when Jesus ASCENDED and the New Testament was finished. Only the APOSTLES were able to access them. This means that when the last apostle died, those special abilities ceased. They were only necessary to validate Jesus and the church to help it get established, and would not be needed after that. Is that true? This study investigates that view, and you might just be surp...

This list MIGHT just be some of the same issues YOU are facing, so her story and the ideas I added just might encourage you, too! Acti...

This is an amazing story of a woman who rescues women from strip clubs. She takes them flowers, asks about their needs, and offers to pray with them.

A Christian group was praying around a Texas city at each city limit sign. One woman involved in the event happened to be stationed near a large church.

I was asked this question at the end of a recent event in Nashville, TN, and it’s a fairly common question. Some Christians worry about demonic kickback or repercussions from actively getting involved in unseen battles. What SHOULD the Christian response be to that?

Does God still give out kingdom keys to ministries and to people, or possibly do we ALL have keys to unlock kingdom doors for certain people or certain groups? After all, EACH one of us can reach people for the Kingdom of God that NO ONE else can reach, right?

For more information about the courts of heaven, there is a series of books by Robert Henderson available on Amazon and Audible about the courts of heaven. https://active-faith.org/act...
