    Praying from a place of pain

    “Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

    Understanding..

    “And He (Jesus) opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.” Luke.24.45 Understanding what we read or hear is so important. We can have knowledge but no understanding.
