Growing up I never was given the chance to speak my mind so I reverted to creative outlets to express myself. People made fun of me and told me I would never amount to anything.

Everyone always wants power! Where do we find the most power? We find it in prayer, and believeing that the supernatural can happen. Now days people want to say theres no god out of a fear that there is one. You choose what you want to believe in. You choose where you want to go. The power of prayer should not be underestimated. James 5:16-18 declares, “…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
