    Session 1: This introduction to "spiritual gifts" discusses the promise of the Holy Spirit, how and when we receive the Spirit, the meaning of being filled with the Spirit, and the reason why spiritual gifts are given to believers.

    Habitation Of Shepherds

    Contributed by James Dina on Feb 10, 2022
     | 2,099 views

    Our churches will no longer be a haven for beggars, but rather a haven for shepherds who have resolved to make disciples of all nations. Our land will no longer be called "desolate," but rather "Beulah," because the Lord delights in us, and our land will be married.

    HABITATION OF SHEPHERDS "Thus says the Lord of hosts; again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds, causing their flocks to lie down" (Jeremiah 33:12) KJV.
