Onword and Upwords by Dennis Brady

  • Faith Over Fear

    Have you missed out on your Divine destiny and purpose because of misplaced fears? Have you lost time wandering in the wilderness of aimlessness because you let people influence you rather than let faith in God guide you? The Israelites… Continue reading

  • Just Believe

    “Just believe and I will increase your faith.” Those were the words the Lord spoke to me in my sleep. It wasn’t in the context of a dream. Just the words as clear as crystal. It’s not uncommon. I hear… Continue reading
