ENGAGING DIMENSIONS IN GOD
324/365 The many names of God encapsulate many of the dimensions He has revealed in His dealings with men. Thus, many know God in his name Jireh, the God who provides or as Rapha, the God who heals.

PRAYING CHALLENGES AWAY
323/365 Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

PICK THE SIGNAL
322/365 We read again about the story of the seven brothers and the woman who was married to each one of them.

PROVOKING ENCOUNTERS
317/365 Luke 18:37,38 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
