Deadly Floods in Turkey Quake Zone, Malawi

Prepare for the Storm to Come
The Lord asked me to share this and also Hebrews 12 with you today from a dream He gave me last year: A new storm is coming, the likes of which you cannot prepare for unless you stay close to Me.

A Life Changed Forever
With all the tragic news of late, the Lord asked me to share with you today a story of hope and remaining faithful in love. Because love is what matters.
