God Cares About Us
Heart to Heart
// Kenneth W. Hagin
Have you ever asked yourself the questions, Does God really care about me? Does He know what I'm going through?
I'm sure at one time or another all of us have felt like no one cared about us and the problems we were facing in life. Maybe there's even been a time when we thought God Himself didn't care.
The Backpack of Life
// KENNETH W. HAGIN
IN THE U.S., most students are preparing to go back to school at this time. The start of a new school year can be stressful for them and their parents.
Nationwide, billions of dollars are spent every year on back to school shopping. One popular item is a new backpack. Nowadays, most kids carry backpacks and stuff them with their books and school supplies. Have you ever seen a youngster with a backpack so loaded down that it was almost dragging on the ground? It can be so heavy that the child even leans sideways!
Kindle the Flame Ignites Destinies
AS KINDLE THE FLAME 2017 came to a close by candlelight, the worship and words from Heaven burned strong in women's hearts. A word of prophecy came through Lynette Hagin:
"There are some of you, not just a few, that are going to be placed in positions that you're going to influence some leaders in the land.
"Get ready in your spirit because you're going to stand before leaders. As you stand before them, it's going to change some situations.

Choosing Peace
// DENISE HAGIN BURNS
TYPICALLY WHEN MANY of us think of peace, we think of being comforted by the Holy Spirit during a time of tragedy. We pray for peace, and it helps us in our time of need. There are times, however, when the turmoil and anxiety in our lives seem endless. And we need peace for more than just a moment, day, or week.
In John 16:33 (NLT) Jesus said, "'I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.' "
