May 13 – The Armor Bearer
What started as a minor panic turned into a full-fledged route. Two men came running in and thousands scattered in every direction.
May 4 – Without Limit
Jesus spoke to demons and they fled. He spoke to dead girls and they sat up. He spoke to blind eyes, and they opened. He spoke to lepers and they were cured.
