Then I didn't understand the power Christ had at His command. Even now, I am amazed. Thank you for this worshipful post.

I read an account of someone who undertook a 40 day fast as a devotion and he made it through without any ill effects at all.Dominic de Mattoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171145945316152596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693566710558019887.post-76393857296556353892011-03-20T18:17:21.822+00:002011-03-20T18:17:21.822+00:00The physical doesn't matter when there is a ri...The physical doesn't matter when there is a richer and greater kingdom awaiting us!Alex J.

The devil is truly the ruler of the sinful world.<br /><br />I had two blogfest this last week which means I went everywhere but my usual places.
