"I believe that the local Church is a habitat for the Holy Community of God. There is something special about worshiping together, learning together and growing together. Yet, it becomes even more special when we realize that the Lord knew that we would need "one another." Not only does iron sharpen iron, but mutual dependence on one another unites us and gives us strength. It is togetherness that strengthens worship, learning, praying, fasting, and growing. It is the plan of having one another that gives us standing power and strength to press on in HIM. We must strengthen the Church and support it.

Prophetically, I believe that God is cleansing the Holy Community. Although we know that the cleansing begins in us individually, there is a corporate cleansing that I believe will begin in the Word that has been presented. I believe that we have many times used the word for our own mindset and not made the effort to understand the Word. Teacher and Friend, Joseph Shulam said to me, "we must be honest with the text of the Word."

We cannot use the Word without understanding its text. We must be honest with what the Lord is conveying through it. Then and only only then are we able to use it. It is Holy, it is life and it is your Destiny."
