Acts 20:32
You have to understand the value of God’s presence. One moment in God’s presence can truly change your life.
Never be casual about the house of God, never be casual about the word of God, and never be casual about an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit has been allowed to find expression.
There is no limit on how far God is able to lift to build to change to transform.
What makes the house of God important is that God is there.
We are a people of vision and intention.
