Pastor Walt's Messages

By Pastor Walter C. Scott, Let Go and Soar Ministries March 11, 2014 Isaiah 14:24 24   The Lord Almighty has sworn, “ Surely, as I have planned, so it will be,     and as I have purposed, so it will happen. Isaiah 14:27 27   For the  Lord  Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him?      His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
