We Can Still Speak God’s Will…

[Just Not Miraculously]

But Why Was This Wrong?

Wrong Work?

How Can Casting Out Demons Have Been Wrong?

Not For Today…

But Was A Necessary Work For The Master Then

Wrong Work?

Why Would “Mighty Works” Be Considered “Works Of Iniquity”?

Making EMPTY CLAIMS…

Is Not Working In His Name!

Who May Do The Lord’s Work?

Psalm 127.1

Colossians 3.17

Using The Name Of Christ Over Your Work…

Is Not Doing Work…

In The Name Of The Lord!
