    When God gives you a promise, there is often a time of necesary preparation. During this time God prepares and equips you before He brings His promise to fruition. The greater the promise, in this case outpouring, the greater the prep time.

    Christmas is a time to reflect upon the height and depth and breath of God’s love and the lengths that He will go to to show us His love. Christmas is a time to remember that God doesn’t demand that we love Him but gives us the choice to love Him.

Yet the Bible says a wind (the breath of God) swept over the surface of the "water" (Genesis 1:2) so there something there ... maybe everything there … the particles ... all the molecules, all of the “substance” of the ...read more
