Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture is from the New American Standard version of the Bible.
And it shall be said, "Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstacle out of the way of My people" (Isaiah 57:14).

The 1994 elections were the biggest repudiation of a political party in this century.

For nation will arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Mark 13:8
The barometer of spiritual intensity in the church is rising around the world. We are now well into the early stages of a great spiritual advance. There is a wonderful anointing being poured out to mobilize the saints for the spreading of the gospel and the tearing down of strongholds.
