The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel not only of grace but power.
In Isaiah 61, the prophet declared that when Messiah came he would heal the broken hearted and set captives free. Jesus himself said that he was the fulfillment of that promise. Too many believers have yet to discover the truly transforming power of Jesus Christ in their own lives and continue to struggle with sin and a broken past. This blog is dedicated to helping believers find the healing and freedom Jesus promised and paid for so that they might fully live out the destiny God has given to them.
