Since the Nov. 3, election there has been a divide among the prophetic community and specifically those called to the office of the prophet. (Yes, there are still prophets—that’s a discussion for another day.)

Shout! For He Has Given us the City!

Shout! For I have given you the city!As I was in prayer this week, the Lord spoke to my heart Joshua 6:16, “Shout for I have given you the city.”

Powerful words then and now. For the Israelites, it meant God had given them the city of Jericho. But what does it mean for us now? [Read more…] about Shout! For He Has Given us the City!
