The prophet's prophet, so to speak). <br />Those questions you ask at the end are the ones that pickled my mind the last 2.5 years. It's so sad that some of their eyes are so closed from pride that the one thing they most desire is yet the one thing they refuse to believe exists. Then without realizing it, they add insult to their own injury by refusing to acknowledge the woman that God gave to them to heal them. <br />We must please pray for them without ceasing.
