friday

Grace and peace to you today, my friends.

The Cure for the Prophetic Pandemic

This blogger is extremely concerned about some recent failed prophecies. “I say that this is a prophetic reckoning because literally dozens of prophetic words surrounding this historical moment were recorded and made available to the masses for spiritual consumption.

I Didn’t Come Here For the Other Foreigners

“‘I didn’t come here for the other foreigners.’ I’ve said it. I’ve felt it. I’ve heard it said by others.
