The apostle Paul closed his first letter to the church at Thessalonica by providing the church with one charge after another. These are meant to be strong closing points that they should not neglect nor forget.

It felt like it came out of nowhere. I suddenly heard His voice resonate inside my spirit with perfect clarity. He said, “In June, your church will experience a financial breakthrough.” I was filled with expectancy at the news. We were about three years past the 2007-2008 recession, but were still recovering as a church and getting our financial confidence back. June came, but instead of a financial breakthrough it seemed like we went in reverse! It ended up being a difficult summer financially. That breakthrough did finally arrive, but not until the fall of that year. What happened? Did I miss the voice of God?

My morning prayer time now includes watching the news. What? How could that be?
