What would the Kingdom of God look like?
Posted by Bessie on November 15th, 2007Extracts from an Article by Ron McGatlin OpenHeaven.com Digest Nov’07

Watching….
Posted by Bessie on August 19th, 2007‘The true watchman is someone who watches God, who is the Chief Watchman – beholding Him in His awesome, majestic glory and what He is doing.

“God’s got an army marching through the land,
DELIVERANCE IS THEIR SONG

Everlasting joy and gladness in THEIR HEART
and in this army I’ve got a part.”
This army is going to be like a TIDAL WAVE – suddenly […]
