The old adage “follow the money” doesn’t work here. These are messages from the Holy Spirit delivered through people whose goal is to make heaven more crowded. When the mission is to share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ with the world, the rest comes naturally. Thanks be to God that there are people who have these type of values. My prayer is that you open your ears and your heart for these messages.
Awesome podcast (also YouTube) to go deeper into the current series.
Greatly appreciate the different platforms used to listen while walking and to scribe while sitting!
Thank you Church!
