LIMITLESS LOVE TO BREAK CHAINS OF YOUR PAST

Derwin Gray in his book “Limitless Life” says “The truth is, we do not have addiction problems. We have misdirected worship.

The reason why bad things happen to us, is because we live in a fallen world that is under the control of the evil one. But you can be set free by a LIMITLESS God and be under His control. Jesus tells us clearly in John 10:10 that Satan comes to "steal,
