Would it shock you to know that Jesus experienced the feeling of having accomplished little? In Isaiah 49:4 we read these words: “Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain….” Note that these are not the words of Isaiah, who was called by God at [...]
This is one powerful prophetic word from Robert Ricciardelli. There is so much truth to it—to what we have been through and are currently walking through as a whole Body. You will be able to relate to much of it. This is my favorite part of Robert’s word, “You are that nation of kings and [...]
