Did anyone ever speak exactly what you needed to hear at that moment? Did you ever find yourself riveted to a specific sentence as you read the Bible? The prophetic is key!

“Dad, what’s behind the curtain?” “God is my son” “Wow Dad, so if I go behind the curtain, will I see Him?” “No I don’t think so son … but perhaps you will feel Him. Anyhow you can’t go behind the curtain, only the High Priest is allowed in the Most Holy Place.” “Gee Dad,…
