seeing the significance of the Father’s house and being mingled more with God
The Father’s house is what is on God’s heart – He wants to obtain a house, a dwelling place, where He can express Himself in and through His people. When God gets a built up church as His house, He will be fully expressed and His glory will shine. To Christ, this is the Body […]
