*THE ULTIMATE BLESSING OF THE NEW TESTAMENT*
_Monday, April 13th 2026_
_*Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:13-14).*_

Christianity without the Holy Spirit is religion. But with Him, it’s a divine adventure. He makes the Word come alive, fills your prayer with power, and transforms you from glory to glory. Acknowledge Him. Yield to Him, and fellowship with
