From Our House to Yours
We had so many events, scheduled trips, and trainings scheduled for 2020 but everything has been canceled. This year had so many prophetic words of harvest. The harvest part hasn’t changed. The way it’s done has changed. God doesn’t make mistakes. His ways are perfect. I’ve been sensing that we are walking into revival. A revival that is led solely by the Holy Spirit. A time of mass conversion and an increase in the miraculous. A season of creative miracles and God being God.

God is pouring out His Spirit and like it was said in Isaiah 43:19, He is doing a new thing.
