he who prophesies builds up the church as the organic Body of Christ
oh that all the Lord’s people would prophesy, speaking God for the building up!
The high peak of the God-ordained way to meet and to serve in the church is prophesying for the building up of the Body of Christ. We all need to learn to take the lead not only to enjoy the Lord, love the Lord, and experience life to minister life, but also to prophesy for […]
