Very strong, Bishop! This week I have been reading and meditating a lot about this subject. Peter had the sword because he did not see Jesus as He truly was. As long as we do not see Jesus for who He truly is, and this only happens after we have an encounter with Him, we…
Good morning, Bishop! I am an assistant of the House of God and a member of the Universal Church for almost three decades. When I heard the Word of the Holy Spirit through you, during our assistant classes, I began thinking, “How can I have malice in my heart, when it is full of gratitude?”…
