From the beginning, God establishes his desire for us to be fashioned by Him and not by man. To boldly acclaim that we have been fiercely made as His creation, standing firm in knowing that we are deliberately developed for His purpose and plans, to seek to endure the fire that forges us into His likeness so we may rightly present ourselves a living sacrifice to Him, and to humbly submit ourselves to be manipulated and molded under His influence and at His hand. To be a Made-Man, not man-m...

Giving you what you asked for just may not be in your best interest right now or the timing may be off. We see today tactically, but God sees tomorrow strategically. In military terms, He has the high ground and sees over th...
