    Things look bad for Israel; then, God's man comes from the East (can you hear the spurs jingle?)

    It is the design of God that after a great move of God, we should expect a move of Satan. Through the valley and into the wilderness.

    After The Fire: KJV: 1 Ki 19:1 1And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. After experiencing a great move of God it is to our benefit to be on guard against the powers of Satan. It is not a new notion that when God does a great ...read more

    Last week we started a sermon series entitled: “Seer Wars”.
