When you strip it of everything else, Pentecost stands for power and life. That's what came into the church when the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost.

All these new methods of how to build the church has left me confused.

The church expect too much from the pastors and there's barely anytime left for prayer.

We simply can't trust God's power fully until we experience it in the midst of our crisis.

After much prayer, careful study and reliance on the Holy Spirit, I have concluded this about Christ’s intercession for us. Jesus died on the cross to purchase peace with God for me – and He is in heaven now to maintain that peace, for me and in me.

The prophet Zechariah warns that any nation that touches Jerusalem will be cut off.

Recently I prayed, "Lord, I want to know your peace at all costs. I won't listen to the devil's lies any longer. I know my salvation is not in my performance. No, Jesus, you alone plead my case. I rest in what you've done for me." Can you say the same by faith?
