      You and your wife compliment each other. God created the two genders to compliment each other. The woman is meant to have submission under the man, but that’s it the man is with a mission and a purpose. The man needs to be submitted to God also. God gives you your mission and purpose. You are the head not the tail. Above and not beneath. Stay in the word of God every single day. Don’t miss out and the word of God as powerful as it is will change your life and guide you. And your spouse will be very happy to follow.

      I was just about to say the Hitler thing and how the animal was able to feel okay with turning a swastika into a horrible horrible image for a group of people that have issues changing their views on things it's very difficult to come back from the swastika. But the history of things need to be left as they are and actually talked about on both ends good and bad but it needs to be solidified and protected for us to do any good in any of this because without God we have nothing but we have God!!

    "Say thank you in advance for what is yours already..."
    “True desire in the heart, for anything good, is God's proof to you, sent beforehand, to indicate that it's yours already.”
    - Denzel Washington
    I have been listening to / watching this video for the past almost 4 years, as I was starting a new journey as a freelance actor. It's been very helpful and comforting to know that God is leading me and has been with me all this time. Because I can see that things and signs are happening to show me that the direction I took was right. May God bless Sir. Denzel Washington for all he has been preaching through his acting craft and art.

He had no army, yet kings feared him. He committed no crime, yet they sentenced him to death. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

Let the men, women, and children of the Earth come forth to gather and behold the power of Atom! Let those who dwell here in his favored land attend now to the words of the Prophet of Atom! Come forth and drink the waters of the Glow, for this ancient weapon of war is our salvation, it is the very symbol of Atom's glory! Let it serve as a reminder of the Division that has occurred in the past and the resplendence of the promise of our division in the times to come! Give your bodies to Atom, my friends. Release yourself to his power, feel his Glow, and be Divided. There shall be no tears, no sorrow, no suffering, for in the Division, we shall see our release from the pain and hardships of this world. Yea, your suffering shall exist no longer; it shall be washed away in Atom's Glow, burned from you in the fire of his brilliance. Each of us shall give birth to a billion stars formed from the mass of our wretched and filthy bodies. Each of us shall be mother and father to a trillion civilizations. Each of us shall know peace, shall know an end to pain, and shall know Atom in his glory. I urge you, my friends -- come, drink with me and pray... Glorious Atom, I give unto you these feeble bones. I present to your will this frail body. I beg of you to use me as your vessel, guide me to your brilliance, divide each particle and give relief to this rotten flesh. Cast the fragile form of this ephemeral body into new life in the forge of your Glow. Atom, come -- bestow your presence on your unworthy servant. We stay true, until the Day of Division -- until the dawn of your return to His humble world.

      Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (GOD'STIME MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +234 905 592 7488) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you....

    What’s weird is that I stopped believing in God, and all of a sudden this showed up in my recommended. This has made me finally go back to Him. I believe that this is a sign from Him.
    Never had so many likes in my life
