  • THREE WORDS … And Everything Changes

    THREE WORDS … And Everything Changes

    FRIDAY of the Passion Week: On this day Jesus finds himself swept away to the courts of humankind. A mockery. Completely abandoned by every friend.

    Our Father’s Love For The Lost

    There are many of My children who have languished in this end-time season, locked in the enemy’s prisoner of war camp.
