We Can Fight Back and Prevail
When General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Virginia, in April 1865, the Civil War ended. The North defeated the South. Devastated and disillusioned, with no alternative, the defeated Confederates left the battlefield to return to Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi and various places in Virginia.

Got Prayer Burnout?
A couple of years ago a friend asked me to agree with him in prayer about something. At that time the Lord laid four scriptures on my heart to stand on. And although my friend has seen some improvement, things are not where they should be. Last week, his need came up in my spirit…
