Seeing a Vision of the Body of Christ and Realizing our Great Need for the Body
In all spiritual things, our seeing is our knowing and entering in. If you see the Body of Christ, you know the Body and you enter into the Body life in practicality. We need to see a vision of the Body of Christ in the same way that Paul saw it, and then we will […]
