Miracle Mindset

Have you ever been on fire for God in one season… and felt distant the next?  This powerful and honest message delves into the realities of spiritual connection, disconnection, and reconnection. Through the life of Peter, we witness how someone can boldly declare Jesus as the Messiah one moment, and then struggle with fear and doubt the next.

( James 5:16, NKJV ;  Matthew 18:20, NKJV ;  Deuteronomy 32:30, NKJV ) How do we defeat the Enemy? Intentionally change what you think by taking your mind and thoughts captive.
