The God who makes it possible and ready
He enabled her to conceive. Genesis 29:31(NIV) He opened her womb Genesis 29:31(KJV) The verse above contains an intriguing use of language. Both translations offer an interesting perspective to consider. “Enable” signifies the act of making something possible, while “open” implies that it is ready after a verb. In Genesis 29, we learn about Jacob […]
Baal-Perazim The Master of Breakthrough
