Miracle Memorials //A Reminder To Remember // Miracle Season //Pastor Elijah Eldredge //Alive Church

In today's message, Miracle Memorials – A Reminder to Remember, Pastor Elijah Eldredge challenges believers to confront one of the greatest struggles of faith: forgetting what God has already done.

Journaling both small and big miracles anchors faith, especially during broken seasons.     2.    Say it out loud – Sharing testimonies (Psalm 78:4) builds generational faith. Revelation 19 reminds us that our testimony has prophetic power—it declares
