Why Spiritual Deliverance Is Important
A lot of us Christians have the misconception that once we have given our lives to Christ & have accepted him as our Lord & personal Savior then all of our problems will just somewhat miraculously despair. However, it it’s only a matter of time before reality sinks in & we realize that that’s not always the case.

Living In A Placebo WorldDr. Irving Kirsch, a research scientist at Harvard, has been studying the placebo effect for over 30 years and has found that in most cases, placebos work as well as the standard medications prescribed by most physicians for various illnesses.

Eternal RestSince the fall of man in the garden of Eden, man has been in an endless quest to find satisfaction, peace, joy and contentment. Every effort always ends up in emptiness.

With determination and perseverance, they have become things of value that benefit us today. Our faith in God’s word is a substance to the things not yet seen but there’s a strong belief that it’ll come to pass. Your decisions and beliefs are the parachutes to your future expectations.
