23 October 2022

MANY THINGS CAN BE DONE THROUGH FAITH

Many are the achievements that can be accomplished when faith is applied. The following text illustrates this great truth.

32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets:

33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 

34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.     Hebrews 11:32-34
