Standing With US

As the people of God assemble today may Holy Spirit bring conviction that He is surely standing with them and they are not in the battle by themselves.

A Part to Play

We are part of a great plan of God that has been intricately designed from before the foundation of the world.

Eph.2:10, TPT — “We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!.” Those who stay the course AND those who do not will both have an effect. (2Tim.4:10)
