Hello people its me Hanni
I read in the bible yeah that Jesus was tempted by the devil in Matthew 4 verse 1 and he answered all of the devils lies and questions with scriptures. So! Ha! I thought because i do believe some lies about myself and stuff and that Michele says God will tell me the truth. I would find out the truth about those lies and see what the bible says about them ok?
