One step at a time

If God wants you to go someplace, He will give you the desire to do so.
God gives His followers the desire and drive to follow His divine plan for their lives.
Knowing God's will is a journey.
As we rest in God and trust Him to guide us, He will reveal His plan one step at a time, one day at a time.
It is very important that we familiarize ourselfs with the bible. God will never lead us to disobey His word.
We need to wait patiently on the Lord and listen for the inner prompting of the Holy Spirit.

Blessed Hope

Scripture is clear, that while awaiting the resurection of the body, we enjoy the conscious presence with the Lord. For us this is the end time. Its our last generation, because this is the only generation we have as individuals
