Las palabras tienen poder en cuestiones de vida o muerte, y aquellos que las aman van a saborear sus frutos.

Build The Right Beliefs
Words have power in matters of life and death, and those who love them will savor their fruit. Proverbs 18:21 (VOICE) Do you speak positively about your relationships, health, career, and finances?

When the storm began to blow and the situation didn’t seem to be heading toward what Jesus …
