The Whole Armor Of God
The Whole Armor Of God We are to put on the “Whole Armor of God”, And having done so – stand, As the forces of evil seek to destroy God’s work and perfect plan.

With the gentle hands of a loving Father, He will reach over and wipe from your face those droplets of water that on earth have served …
Nobodies into Somebodies
Nobodies into Somebodies 1 Samuel 16:1–11 Samuel Anoints David as King Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.” 2 But Samuel asked, “How can I do that?
