LONGING!

There are many things in this evil age, that cause us to cry Maranatha!

Mercy, Lord!

We are grateful for every time the powers of the age to come break into this world and bring You glory.

This powerful LONGING that God would return and make all things right

This powerful LONGING that God would return and wipe away every tear from our eyes

This powerful LONGING that God would return and crush the power of death

This powerful LONGING that God would return and heal all disease

This is the Maranatha cry.

Mercy does break into this age and at times the powers of the age to come are revealed and they reveal and bring Glory to the Most High, the God of Israel.

Let us be those who trust in His faithfulness and long for His coming.
