In this season, we have established a prayer and prophecy council with great anticipation. This group has been meeting over the last two months and will continue until our Foursquare Leader Conference. They are gathering to pray for and over all of you, in our Western District.
Our earnest belief is that the Lord will graciously and resoundingly communicate His divine messages through this significant period. We wholeheartedly anticipate that His voice will resound within the hearts of each of you and our dedicated team in the coming days.
We humbly invite you to kindly share any revelations, scriptures, images, or any other means through which the Lord may be speaking to you during this time. Your contributions are of immense value and will enrich our collective understanding and discernment. We eagerly anticipate receiving these divine insights, knowing that they will guide us toward our shared destiny.
