The Power of Prayer
The Power of Prayer Did you know that you have a direct conduit to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? It’s called “prayer”. And it is a powerful tool.

In Luke 4:3: The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone toRead More

According to the Miriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition is, “a convinced adherent of a school or individual .” In simple terms, someone who is considered a disciple is considered a “follower” or a “student”.
