Miracle Maturity
July 3, 2006 Monday 9:30 AM Shiloh, Kalona, IA
In the process of maturing the sons, certain stages of growth cannot be avoided in order to produce a genuine product that God can endue with power from on high. However, this age needs mature sons now to move in the power of God. Today, we end everything in us that resists the process of maturity and we believe for the miracle of a quick, thorough work that cuts short the time required for the process of maturity. Prior to the Word, Gary talked about how a force of intercession has been re-established at this School Of Prophets in Shiloh, born out of relationships of interdependence. This message should be heard with the messages from July 2, 2006 Sun. 9:30 AM and July 2, 2006 Sun. 7:30 PM in Shiloh.
