The Remnant Rising

Ep. 231-Stop raising voices and start becoming echoes

Are You Speaking What God Is Saying?We are living in a time where everyone has a voice.Social media is loud.Podcasts are everywhere.Opinions are constant.But here’s the real question…Are those voices actually echoing Heaven?In Gospel of John chapter 12, Jesus makes something incredibly clear—He did not speak on His own authority. He spoke what the Father commanded Him to say.That means every word Jesus released carried the weight of Heaven.And if we’re going to have real impact in this generation, it won’t come from clever ideas, trending content, or cultural relevance…👉 It will come from becoming echoes of God’s heart.There Are Many Voices… But Not All Are TruthRight now, there are countless voices claiming to speak truth.But not all truth is truth.Thanks for reading StrongFaith.co!

Ep. 230-The battle is for your secret place with God

Apr 3000:28:46Tap to summarize

This episode is a timely call to return to the hidden place of prayer. In Matthew 6:5–6, Jesus teaches that prayer is not meant to be a performance for people, but a sacred meeting place with the Father. It is in the secret place, behind the closed door, that real strength is formed, spiritual authority is developed, and open reward is released.There will always be a battle for your time with God. Distraction, busyness, weariness, spiritual resistance, and the pressures of life will always try to pull you away from prayer. But the secret place is not optional for the believer. It is where your heart is strengthened, your future is shaped, and your life is prepared for the purposes of God.This message is a call to move beyond occasional encounters with God and into a daily, heart-deep life of prayer. If prayer has become a checklist, it is time for it to become a heart connection again. If you already spend time with the Lord, it is time to press in for more. Prayer is not just something we do. Prayer is our life.This episode also carries a strong call to the remnant, the watchmen, the intercessors, and the prayer warriors God is raising up in this hour. Prayer is not only about personal needs. There are assignments from the Lord. There are families, churches, communities, cities, and nations that need believers who will stand in the gap and contend for the will of God to be done on earth as it is in heaven.Now is not the time for powerless Christianity. Now is not the time to drift, coast, or depend only on occasional moments with God. This is a vital hour for the Church to pray with perseverance, seek God with fresh hunger, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.Little prayer equals little presence.Little presence equals little joy.Little joy equals little strength.Little strength equals defeat.But prayer equals victory.The secret place will cost you your time, your attention, and your surrender, but it will also sustain the weight of everything God wants to do in your life.Scriptures in this episode include: Matthew 6:5–6, Matthew 6:10, Matthew 11:12, and Ephesians 6:12.Listen to the full episode, share it with someone who needs the reminder to pray again, and subscribe to the podcast so you do not miss future messages that strengthen your faith and stir your hunger for God.Thanks for reading StrongFaith.co!

Ep. 228: I Am Not Finished With You Yet!

Nov 2200:22:46Tap to summarize

I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying over and over, “I’m not finished with you yet!”In the spirit realm, there is shifting and movement. Something is taking place, and the Lord is preparing to do a work in His people. Where you thought the time was up and the plan was complete is only the starting point.You have no idea the magnitude of the Lord’s work and plan for the next season. With God, there is always a next. He is creating ways and means where they currently do not exist. So what does the Remnant need to do in this hour? We need to prepare ourselves.We, the people of God, need to spend our time soaking in His presence and seeking His face for an outpouring in our lives, allowing the Holy Spirit to renew strength and vitality within us.For I hear the Lord saying, “This is the hour! You have waited and longed for it, and now the time is upon you. Do not shrink back, for this moment will require your all. You have invested yourself in me, and now I am going to pour back into you. Like the miracle of the loaves and fishes, I will bless and break what you place in my hands and give it back multiplied to you over and over again. You will have what you need and more than enough to spare to minister to people, to your family, and to your situation, for what seemed like a breaking is turning into a blessing! What felt like an impossibility is becoming a testimony. Keep sowing. Keep putting yourself into my hands. Keep speaking my word over your life. Today is a day of joy and harvest. It is a time to look up with expectation and long for the replenishment of your soul. The whispers of yesterday will be completely forgotten—swallowed up in the magnitude of my new work in your life. For I have promised you many things and caused your heart to leap with hope, only for you to hang your head at the amount of time it has taken. But time is up! I am releasing my word now. The expectation and reason for hope is at hand. For individuals and for my church corporately, there is a release coming. To the Remnant who refuse to let go of my word and what I said, I will show my wonders. The words of my mouth are always proven true. I do what I say, and nothing can stop it. So rejoice, Remnant! Rejoice, my people! For the Lord is working now—a work that is undeniable and swift, changing the course of destiny and awakening regiment after regiment of the Remnant. Awaken, sleep no more. Keep your eyes fixed upon the object of your faith—Me. You will see me come through. You will praise me for my work. For I am not finished with you yet!”People of God, the time to make things ready is NOW!The kingdom of God is enlarging and moving, and our part is to continue the work of the Kingdom. As the Lord prepares and clears pathways of blessing, outpouring, and salvation, our role is to faithfully act and sow His Word as we always have.This is not the time to stop and simply watch. We need to awaken to see what the Lord is doing, and with a watchful eye, a working hand, and life-giving words, keep ourselves engaged in the business of the Kingdom. The book of Mark contains a passage that speaks to what we must do in this hour.Mark 4:26-29 NKJV—And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, [27] and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow; he himself does not know how. [28] For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. [29] But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”We are ambassadors in the Kingdom of God. This is a new mindset for many. The fact that we are actually invested with authority and given power through the Holy Spirit to speak words of life over dead situations and expect them to rise up is significant. This is what He has committed to the church.It is a message of power and reconciliation. We are drawing the lost with every word we say, as we echo His words over our lives, families, and situations. God is creating a harvest from your words as you plant His words in the soil of your life.From the previous scriptures in this chapter, we know that the seed being sown and spoken of is the Word of God. How easy it is to forget to sow the seed in and over your life. The church must take greater care to sow life instead of thinking and speaking death. As you read scripture, you find that the kingdom has always hinged on the spoken word of God, and for this reason alone, Satan wants to silence you.Mark declares that the Kingdom is like a man scattering seed on the ground. The ground represents our hearts. From the previous parable, Jesus makes this clear. What does the Bible say regarding our hearts? Scripture teaches us that out of the heart flow all the issues of our lives. Our heart is the starting point for everything that happens in our lives. Sowing the words of the King into and over our hearts not only affects our present mindset and thinking, but also begins to shape our actions and abilities. His words spoken from our mouths influence future events and outcomes as they change the makeup of our hearts from which the issues of life flow.Sowing the Word of the Kingdom initiates a process of growth in your spirit and in your heart, and as long as you keep sowing the Word, God is not finished with you yet! The word you’ve sown simply sprouts and grows. I love how the scripture says, “sleep by night and rise by day.” It means that every day, something is happening in your spirit man whether you sense it or not. The Word is working, growing, strengthening, producing, sprouting, and multiplying. God set it up this way.For those who have faced hardships, loss, disconnection, and the pain of suffering in various areas of their lives, the word of the Kingdom is at work right now. Day by day, and night by night, what you have sown is growing. Do not stop sowing the Word in your heart!We often cannot see the effects of our faith until the time of harvest. We cannot see the potential and the groundwork for life change that is taking place as we remain faithful to sow the Word, pray, seek God, worship, and release the Kingdom of God by faith.This word has been resonating in my spirit for days now—stay faithful.There are many distractions that seek to pull you away from simple faithfulness. Remnant, hear me in this. It isn’t that the devil will pull you from Jesus, but that by drawing back from your faithfulness to seek the Lord, seeds stop being planted. This work of harvest is a cooperative effort. It is you and the Holy Spirit partnering together to see the multiplication of harvest begin to change the direction of your life for the good.Faithfulness touches God’s heart, I believe. When a man or woman lives with a heart of faith to do what pleases God, getting alone with Him when no one else sees and speaking over their lives when no one else hears, God always sees it. He is drawn to those who will sow in faithfulness.I would say that there are many who have sown their seed, letting go of precious, valuable seeds when it seemed like nothing was happening. Your heart was sorrowful, and you did not see the end result of what you were doing. The promise seemed so distant that it felt like nothing. But God saw you. God heard you. God was moving when you didn’t see Him or feel Him. The Holy Spirit was cooperating with your obedience and faithfulness when it was hard to remain faithful. Now the reward is close!Listen to what the book of Psalms says about this time in our lives.Psalm 126:5-6 NKJV—Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. [6] He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him.Let’s read it in the Passion Translation as well.Psalm 126:5-6 TPT—Those who sow their tears as seeds will reap a harvest with joyful shouts of glee. [6] They may weep as they go out carrying their seed to sow, but they will return with joyful laughter and shouting with gladness as they bring back armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing!Did you hear what it said? “Armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing!” This is what we should expect. Don’t let your focus be swayed. The harvest is coming. The harvest is ripening. The harvest for many is here!The Book of Mark teaches that the earth yields crops by itself. What the scripture means is that once you sow the life-giving word into your heart, an unstoppable process begins. The soil of our hearts and lives begins to sprout with life. First, the blade—almost invisible at first—the harvest begins like a tender baby, easily broken. We must continue to water it with faith and sprinkle it with more life-giving seed. Then, the head begins to form, and you can see that something is happening. With joy, you begin to sense that God is fulfilling His promise. Harvest no longer seems like a dream. You start to awaken to a new reality that something is changing in the spirit. After that, the full grain appears in the head of the wheat. It is ready.I believe many in the Remnant are at this point now. We can see that something has shifted, and awakening is occurring. Seeds are still growing, changing moment by moment. Day by day, the Lord is enlarging and multiplying the effects of what you have sown in the dark of night. Through your prayers, faith, and declarations of the kingdom word, growth is happening, and you have reason to take up joy!Let me draw your attention to Mark’s last verse in this passage.Mark 4:29 TPT—“Then, when the grain is ripe, he immediately puts the sickle to the grain, because harvest time has come.”Notice th...

John the Baptist Generation: Bold Voices Preparing the Way of the Lord Online

Nov 1100:21:28Tap to summarize

I’m calling out to the remnant to rise up into your identity and your calling and stop being afraid. If you’ve felt like the Lord wanted to use you, if you felt like He had a plan for your life, if you sense something deep inside you trying to get out and that the Lord wants to do something new in your life—a new work that He wants to raise up within you—friend, today this is for you. The Lord is raising up people like never before. This is a season of revival. It is a season of awakening, and for those things to continue to come to fruition, the people of God, the remnant, must step into the places and callings that God has for their lives.Let me begin with Scripture. Mark 1:2-3 NKJV—As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.” [3] “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight.’”We know this speaks of John the Baptist, whom Jesus referred to. John the Baptist was a prophet prophesied by Isaiah, destined to come before Jesus walked the earth. When John baptized people in the river, he cried out for repentance and for fruits of righteousness. He proclaimed many truths that paved the way for Jesus to come on the scene and preach the Kingdom of God.Friend, I believe that in these last days, God is raising up those same kinds of people again—ones in the spirit and essence of John the Baptist, who will prepare the way of the Lord. Let me just say this: every person has a place of influence. Every person has an opportunity to be part of the remnant. Everyone can help prepare the way of the Lord. You just need to be open, fearless, and bold to do your part.The Lord wants to mobilize thousands of His remnant online to reach people that will be reached in no other way. Refuse to give into fear on this. Make that video. Post that word from the Lord. Share that reel. You are part of a movement of God’s Remnant Warriors. Your voice will ripple through the waters of the online space and land in the ears of those intended by the Holy Spirit. While many decry the use of social media, the Lord refuses to be held back by religion and the entanglements of past methods. To reach a billion soul harvest means multiplied voices are needed to give voice to the message.This is you.If you have felt that tug and pull from the Holy Spirit, give in.Cast out your fears and speak in faith. To have a voice, you have to be a voice!There are some of you right now who have had a desire in your heart to create a video. You have had words coming to your heart that you think, “I’ve never experienced this before.” But here you find this word in your heart and mind, and you believe it’s from the Holy Spirit. What should you do? Many of you desire to create a reel on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, and the people around you may decry those things, saying, “God could never use that.” But I tell you, around the earth right now, God is raising up bold voices who refuse to be held back by what everyone else is saying. They are posting those videos and sharing those words from the Lord, and they are reaching people. The reason that’s in your heart right now, friend, is that God, the Holy Spirit, put it there. He put it there so you would reach a person that nobody else could reach. He has a plan for your life. He has a plan for your voice.I want to speak to those who feel insignificant or think they don’t have a vast audience. As I’ve said before, I don’t have a huge audience, but I will be faithful to speak to the one that God puts in front of the screen or allows me to speak into their ears through their earbuds, AirPods, or headphones. I will be faithful to speak into that person’s spirit through the word of the Lord. God is trying to get a word of encouragement, release, revival, power, and victory to them. The same is true for you. You have a word from God. If you have any desire at all, you have a word from God.Let me also say that for some, that desire will be a calling. It will be something they are supposed to do on an ongoing basis. I feel like that’s part of my calling. Not only am I a pastor, but I am someone online called to spread the gospel, share the good news of Jesus, and help raise up and encourage the remnant. I’m going to be faithful to do that, waiting on the voice of the Lord for clarity and direction. For some, that will be a calling. For others, you will have moments of divine inspiration. In those moments, you will feel something rise up inside you, and you will have a word that you feel needs to be spoken. Friend, the word in that moment is from the Lord, and He is using you as a voice for His Kingdom. You need to be bold, courageous, and fearless enough to release the word and speak it. Or maybe it’s a video. Maybe you’ll only do it a few times. Whatever it is, be obedient to God. Be obedient to God because the Lord desires to use you.Now let me get to the word that the Lord spoke into my heart just this morning as I was coming out of a time of prayer. As a sidenote , I step out in faith every time I do this, just as I’m calling you to do something like this. I’m stepping out in faith because the Lord has been speaking to my heart over the course of several years, encouraging me and preparing me to give the words He would speak. This is something that is still very new to me. But I’m stepping out with boldness, and I’m going to encourage you to do the very same thing.Here’s the word: “I am raising up a new generation of John the Baptists. They will carry an anointing to speak and proclaim My word. They will be bold and without fear. My fire and Spirit will penetrate to the core of their being, and they will run with My word, declaring, ‘Make room and make way for the Kingdom of God.’ King Jesus will be their rally cry. These bold ones will be totally sold out to Jesus, and no fear will overtake them. They will cry out in wilderness places and see their environments begin to respond. They will arise with a word of My spirit and see the anointing break the yokes. Long-held territory will begin to fall back into the hands of the Kingdom of God as these rise up into their callings. With effectiveness, they will run and not become weary, for even now I am calling them to rise up into their places and putting them into position. They will encounter doors they were never qualified to open, yet the doors will open. These bold ones will stand before the kings of their day in every realm of influence. Though they are unknown to the world, they are known to Me. I see their hearts and respond to the cry and hunger I placed in them. Many have been under the direct pressure and hiding of My hand, but they are springing forth now. I am loosing the forerunners who will prepare the way for the move of the Kingdom of God. They will not be quiet but will raise a voice in their generation. This will result in many coming into the Kingdom for such a time as this.”Friend, I am telling you that word burns in my heart, and I am so excited to see a bold and fearless remnant of people begin to rise up. I can’t wait to see it. There are already so many people on social media and online, making videos, creating reels, posting words and writing books. In fact, I just talked to someone in my church the other day who said, “God is calling me to write again,” and He had just dropped a prophetic word into their heart in a way that He hadn’t in a while. I was so excited to hear that, and I’m thrilled to see those voices begin to step into their callings. This is no competition. Every single person who rises up and becomes the voice God has called you to be has a sphere of influence that no one else may reach. Those people will listen to YOU; they will hear the word God has placed in YOU. YOU have an anointing for that group of people. Friend, this is your hour. This is your day. Don’t be held back by religion. Don’t be held back by what people think. Don’t be held back by their voices. Boldly become who God has called you to be. I was just reading the other day in Scripture, Jesus had gone out and was teaching, and His family thought He was crazy. Even His mother thought something was going on with Jesus. This was the same Mary who was visited by an angel, who said, “Your son is the Son of God. Your son will be the king of the highest.” She held those prophetic words in her heart. Yet when it came time for Jesus to step into His calling and anointing in a fuller capacity, even Mary thought something was wrong with Him. The scripture says they thought He had gone crazy. Mary did change her mind and understand who Jesus really was, as the Holy Spirit had told her years earlier, but Jesus, in that moment, was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, calling for you.” The Bible says Jesus looked around at the crowd in the house and said, “Who are My mother and brothers?” He pointed to those around Him and said, “Those who do the will of My Father, these are My brothers and sisters and mother.” In that moment, Jesus had to choose the identity of the Son of God, the King of the world. He had to walk in that identity with boldness and courage. He did it as God in the flesh, laying aside His divinity and picking up our humanity. He walked that same road, depending on the voice of the Holy Spirit within Him, believing the word of God over Him, and stepping into it. If Jesus did that, friend, that’s exactly what you and I will have to do. So I want to encourage you: don’t worry about what you hear from people. Don’t worry about their discouraging voices. Do...

It Is Time For The Church To Pray Again

Oct 900:42:10Tap to summarize

The Lord is calling out to the church in this hour. He is asking us to rise up once again in the activities of heaven that matter most. The Lord seeks those who will seek Him. He looks for those who will honor Him with a sacrifice of self in His presence to obtain His presence.This call is: Pray, Church! Pray, Church! Pray, Church!The time has come for the church to begin to pray again. The call and cry that resonate deep in my spirit is a summons from the Holy Spirit to enter into the secret place and come before the King of all Kings. We cannot neglect our prayer and hope to win the battles that are coming against us, and certainly, we will not win the battles that are about to come against us unless we pray.The church must pray. Prayer is how we fight! Prayer is the battle mode of the church that releases the kingdom of God upon our circumstances, problems, and worries. Prayer unleashes the kingdom of God against demonic forces bent on harming our communities, families, and our nation. Prayer is the posture of power in the Kingdom of God.Nothing compares to prayer in its importance and scope. Praying will unlock doors and move mountains. Praying will touch the heart of God and cause His hands to be moved. Prayer releases every force the kingdom of God has against the enemies of the kingdom.So, again I say: “Pray, church!” It is time for the church to pray again, getting into battle mode and fighting stance.Ironically, as we pray, we are not facing off against demons ourselves. Instead, we are coming to worship the King, speak His words over our lives, intercede for the longings of His heart, and pray for the peace He decrees in our lives and on the earth. As we pray for leaders, nations, lost sons and daughters, and the hopelessness we see people walking in, the Spirit of God comes and begins to battle against the enemy’s plan. God releases resources, help, provision, strength, and power as we pray. Angelic activity is ignited as the host of heaven hears the words of God being declared in prayer by the saints. These mighty angels go to war on our behalf at the command of the King.All of this is happening behind the scenes as we simply become the connection point from earth to heaven.When we open our hearts and our mouths to pray, it releases the divine purpose and passion of Christ’s heart. He is revealed, and He is magnified. Church, the Lord would say to you, “Your prayers matter!” When you pray, it makes a difference for eternity. It’s not about you feeling it or even sensing it, although when we do, we are thankful. But prayer is about facing the Lord in faith, boldly worshiping His name, and declaring His beauty and holiness, coming to Him with thanksgiving in our hearts and seeking His face. Prayer is a connection point to the Kingdom of God, and it releases the power of His Kingdom in our hearts and in the earth.Scripture plainly tells us the plan of God for our prayers—“on earth as it is in heaven.”Matthew 6:10 TPT—[10] Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is fulfilled in heaven.I would submit to you that the more you pray, the more of His presence will enter your life and transform you and your situation. Even if you do not realize it’s happening, it is.And so if you’ve ever felt dead or dry in your spirit, this is for you. Maybe the Lord has allowed you to reach that place so that you will begin to search for Him, to seek Him, to look for Him, and to allow the Holy Spirit to come in. I believe that He is calling out to the church in this hour to seek His face.He is urging us to pursue Him actively, to follow Him, and to press into Him in greater and deeper ways because a harvest season is here. It’s not only coming; it’s upon us. It’s moving in the earth, and we are meant to take part in that—prophesying into the atmosphere and over our spheres of influence, including our families, cities, and towns—all to see the harvest of the Lord come in and to reach out and work.I believe God is calling out to His remnant people in this hour to begin seeking His face, to open our hearts to His presence, and to allow the extension of His power to touch our hearts deeply, igniting our hunger, desire, and thirst.Friend, we need to pursue and press deeper into the Lord than we have before. If we’re going to make bold and courageous stands in our culture, we cannot do that without the presence and Spirit of God. We need a working relationship, not just knowledge of God, but an intimate relationship with His presence, Spirit, and power.We can’t be a bold voice for Jesus in our culture, in our city, in our town, in our family, in our nation, or on Earth unless we have the voice of God inside us, speaking to our hearts in His presence, igniting us and pressing us forward. So I’m speaking to you right now—as a friend and as a fellow believer—saying, let’s press in like we haven’t before, and let’s allow the Holy Ghost to ignite our hearts with a new hunger, a new thirst, and a new passion, so that there is a drive and a force from God that pushes us into the things of the Lord and the purpose of God.Prayer is the extension of His touch in your life. As you seek Him, He pours Himself through you.Let me just say this too: God is so faithful.As you begin to search for Him and seek Him out, He will be found by you. He will not hide or keep Himself at a distance from you. He is so faithful to come in and fulfill His work, His word, and His promise in your life. He will do that. One of the things I turn to when it seems like the presence of the Lord has begun to slip in my life, and maybe I can’t feel Him as deeply as I once did, is this: if I will just get on my face before God—and I mean truly make a sacrifice to do so—and remain in that place of prayer, I know that if I stay there, God will meet me.Even if I don’t feel it, I know He’s working.And if He’s working, then I have everything I need. Because when God is working, the Bible says He will work in us those things that are well-pleasing in His sight. That’s what He’s doing right now. So don’t be discouraged, friend, but press in.We are to embark on a quest to explore the depths of the Holy Spirit.Not long ago, I received this word from the Lord about the Holy Spirit:“My people are meant to be led by my Spirit and taught by my Spirit. You may follow someone’s faith, but mentorship comes through a life-giving relationship with the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will guide you into all truth, for He will take of mine and declare it unto you. He is the voice that you hear directing your steps, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.” The Holy Spirit is the great director who orchestrates and performs my plan on the earth and in your life. Lean into His voice and cherish His words, for the Holy Spirit delights over you with great joy. He will fill you with my joy as He escorts you into my presence.”It is time for the Church to pray again!This is the call to the remnant who are about to rise into revival!Any great move of the Spirit of God, any significant revival or outpouring of the Lord that has ever happened on the earth can be traced back to men and women on their knees.Corporately:2 Chronicles 7:13-15 NKJV—[13] When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, [14] if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. [15] Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.Personally:Jeremiah 29:11-13 NKJV—[11] For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. [12] Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. [13] And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.How to seek the Lord:Have a secret place with the Lord.Matthew 6:6 TPT—[6] But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to Him in secret. And your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly.Sacrifice more time in prayer.Luke 6:12 TPT—[12] After this, Jesus went up into the high hills to spend the whole night in prayer to God.1 Thessalonians 5:17 TPT—[17] Make your life a prayer.An example of the need to devote more time to prayer can be drawn from understanding a marriage relationship. The more time you spend with your spouse, the more deeply and intimately you come to know them. You reach a point where you understand how they think and feel. You may even be able to finish their thoughts because you’ve become closely aware of their perspectives and desires.Sacrificial time in prayer produces a knowledge of Jesus and an awareness of His presence that comes in no other way.Intercede for your cities and towns.Colossians 4:2-4 TPT—[2] Be faithful to pray as intercessors who are fully alert and giving thanks to God. [3] And please pray for me, that God will open a door of opportunity for us to preach the revelation of the mystery of Christ, for whose sake I am imprisoned. [4] Pray that I would unfold and reveal fully this mystery, for that is my delightful a...
