So I asked…

This Is Who We Are – AND WE ARE POWERFUL
Walking around the walls. It’s all about seasons. God impressed upon me that this story in the Bible is vital for us today as we begin to see the seasons. The Israelites walked around the walls for seven days. And then on the seventh day, they marched around seven times. It’s seasons for us. It…
