Final ThoughtsFinal Thoughts
When we yield to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, absent of our own agenda, great things happen
The bruises, holes, imperfections, and faded appearances are done away with
All of this happens in quiet places of our hearts by the watering of His Word, that we might be like Him
Final ThoughtsFinal Thoughts
The coming of the Lord is soon. We are complete in Him. It’s about coming into a revelatory knowledge of knowing who we are in Him
The wilderness experience is not meant to harm or hurt you, but to promote you
When there’s a call from God, there MUST be a response!
