Quotes about Revelation

The Koran, the revealed word of God, was the closest thing to a miracle in Mohammed's life. He had not been a poet; he had no gift of words.

In fact, sometimes God will allow you to experience larger problems in life because He wants to unveil a larger portion of Himself to you.
