Joined to God’s Desire through His Word and Praying to Lay the Tracks for God’s Move
We need to be joined to God’s desire through His word, exercise our spirit over the Word of God, remain in an atmosphere of prayer, live under God’s rule in the reality of the kingdom, and be a self-sacrificing person with the spirit of martyrdom even as Daniel was. Daniel is a pattern to us; […]
