You will know that you are on the right
path with God by following the word of
God and by the signs that you exhibit.
Mark 16:17-18:
17. And these signs shall follow them
that believe; In my name

Final Thoughts
I'm sure that you as well as many others
has had various questions concerning
God and life. One thing that I come to
realize is that our questions can either
give us strength or weaken us. The
moment we attain the answer to our
question we will become vigorous. You
will be amazed to learn that many of your
strengths lie in the foundation of
your
questions. I challenge you today to turn
your questions into your strengths.
