"God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

Signs of the times tell us to wake up and strengthen what remains. Flashing warning signs scream at us; "get your spiritual house in order." It is the responsibility of every blood soaked, blood bought born again child of God to pray and be about the Father' business.

“But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.” Matthew 24:43

Follow Him.!!
