Absolutely nothing is as wonderful as the manifested presence of the Lord. Acts 3 says, "times of refreshing come from the presence of the Lord." Psalm 16:11 says, "in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." And Exodus 33:14 says, "My presence will...

As I was looking through some old notes today, I came across a message by Jim Reilly from the Healing Prayer Call.  His teaching was about those who play church or who are not fully committed to following Jesus. He taught that we have stepped into a new place in...
