In the midst of all the clamor and confusion, I am gaining greater awareness of an undisputable fact — God is very much at work behind the scenes orchestrating the movement of His people to carry out His will.
It is just simply amazing when He allows us, through some special observation, to see Him sovereignly doing something in a particular situation where we were previously unsure of what to do, or how to respond, or maybe even doubting His concern for.
These kind of special moments serve to increase our faith and further establish us to be able to fulfill our purposes.
Tune your ears to hear what The Holy Spirit wants to speak to you today. Train your eyes to observe how God is working in your life. Agree with heaven on everything concerning you! Let His Kingdom come and His will be done for you today.

Here are some good take-away’s from today’s meetings:
Persecution brings clarity. When you have to pay a price, you become clear about what you believe.
Don’t try to boil the ocean.
The more specific your target, the more apt you are to hit it.
In transition, we need clear endings. Sometimes we stay in transition because we can’t emotionally disconnect from the past.
Hope is the image in your head. Faith is the materializer in your heart of what you see in your head.
