Have you ever had somebody walk up to you and say,

the Lord told me to tell you, what do you do with that phrase?

That is a powerful statement.

How do you process that?

And not only that, but what about all these modern prophecies

and these miraculous things that seem to be happening?

Hey, guys, this is Justin. Maybe you know that you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ.

But you're wondering, what does Jesus have to do with my Christian life? How is he involved in my
