What confirmation! This is exactly what I feel the Spirit of the Lord is calling me to do in this hour.
Ever so timely!
Amen and amen! Thank you, Lord for your simple, profound words of wisdom that we so desperately need in this hour. Confirms what I have been hearing also.
Wow! So confirming !

Thank you……
Double confirmation of what I’ve been experiencing for about 2 years; Michael Koulianos wrote in today’s devotional “If you seek the Lord with your whole heart you will find him Deut 4:29, but if you are seeking Him in a church, Bible study, mission activities, you may not find Him.

Thank you so much for this Word. I have been caring for my 94 year old mother for 4 years now , with little or no help from my 3 siblings. I feel exhausted and weary.

May God continue to talk to you so you can share with those of us that we’d to hear his life giving Word.
