Appearing more than 400 times in the Hebrew Bible, Adonai is one of the most prolific names of God. Yeshua’s life was the extension of God’s Kingdom into this world. He now continues that through our life together as His Body. As Scripture stated, we are presently seated with Him in heavenly places, with access to all that authority through Him. We are able then to not just meditate on this reality but to bring His power into this world actively. When the world around us seems to shatter, let’s actively lift this broken world to Adonai in hope!

A Fire that Will Not Die "You will receive power... and you will be my witnesses...Acts 1:4,5,8 - The Resurrected Lord spent forty days with His disciples, preparing them to set the world on fire and carry out the Great Commission.
