From Revival to Reformation | Week 3 | Indivisible Series
Word from The Lord:
“I am going to awaken giants today. Giants of business, science and government. My hand will be upon them to change systems that affect millions. I am redeeming systems of enslavement to make them systems of freedom. I will train many from The Crossing to shift cultures from being fallen and enslaving to be redeeming and free.”
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
