Encounter Evening into Oneness
2024-05-13 18:30 - 20:00
This is an invitation directly from the Lord’s heart. This is a holy gathering. As we sit at His feet together, He will open up the realm of the Throne to us. We will see Him as He is!
No need to book a ticket just come 🥰
It’s exquisite to have a heart with intent desire to live in the ways of God, in the ways of his heart. It’s also powerful because it’s in this heart posture, with a focus and love desire to be reflecting Jesus’ heart, one with him, that the enemy has no place in us. Therefore, he has no power over us like Jesus said.
This is warfare proofing our life. The enemy can’t get access to us, and we’re ministering to the heart of Jesus instead of being in a battle and the enemy coming at us all the time, the kingdom of God begins to prevail.
We shift our gaze to above and behold the Great “I’am”
This is an incredible state joy, a supernatural love experience that we can live in.
