How God Led Me In My Life (My Testimony) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 30, 2021 · 1h 7m

Zac Poonen · Nov 17, 2021 · 1h 1m

Believers are warned against settling for a comfortable, complacent spiritual life, urging them instead to actively seek God with their whole heart, as commanded in the Book of Revelation.
