We had a breakthrough the very moment we understood that it takes the grace of God on the flesh. Many are living miserable lives because they did not know that having a good desire does not necessarily mean good results. The spirit may be willing but you need a strong flesh to carry out your good intention.<\/p>\n<p>Our desire for a healthy and strong family drove us to more intense prayer. I pray that you will be driven by this quest to pray more and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Declaration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I decree and declare that God will revive and ignite my spirit with his holy fire.
