God I need a Breakthrough!
Published on 2012-03-10 14:19:00
What is a breakthrough? This is a term used by many Christian believers which means, being in a place of coldness, staleness, and burden. It is a season of dryness of the soul and spirit, that can cause discouragement, if we are not careful. If you are a Christian, there will be times in your walk, when you feel that God is not near, nor is He hearing your prayers. That is why, it is so important to not pm;u read the scripture; but to internalize it and to make it a part of our spirit. Spiri [..] > read more

One of my favorite scriptures is, Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
