Rise Up & Roar

Today, we are repenting for our nation and praying against the spirit of trafficking and slavery. That spirit is running rampant in our world and in our nation today.

Isaiah 61:1 NLT -  " The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is...

Today, we are praying for mercy for our nation. We deserve judgment, but with God there is HOPE. I encourage you today to speak LIFE over our nation.

I encourage you to NOT partner with them, but to partner with the HOPE of our Lord. We appro...
