Duane Bemis
1 Samuel 17:38-39

As I wrestled once again with God I heard His all to quiet voice utter this, ''You will find another cleansing message for my people. Another message which will set My people free.''

Are you ready to travel with me through this teaching sent from the throne of heaven? Hold on to your hat and put on your seat belt as we embark on this journey of epic proportions.
Let us begin with a word of prayer: ''Father of hope, power and mercy we call upon You to Guide and direct our heart though this story of the young David.

We welcome the teacher the Holy Spirit to come and demonstrate the power of God to change our hearts for better. We call on Heaven to send holy fire, the refiner's fire of purifica ...
