Minister Wallace has a very unique way of relaying what's physically needed today, to what's spiritually needed Always. God provides refuge and safety by rescuing and sheltering you. In these times, evil is pervasive and sometimes not recognizable until it's too late, and the damage is done. But as Minister Wallace has informed us, once you get that Spiritual Booster, things become clearer, you feel safer and more confident, and even the most pervasive and subtle evil intensions become recognizable. And once recognized, while you are safe in the refuge of the Lord, it is God who will act, to remove those obstacles from your path. A Spiritually Booster Shot? I am definitely down with that, and I hope you all are too
I always enjoy hearing Rev Duncan deliver the Word. Looking forward to hearing more from her. Thank you Anna's Place Mission for your Spiritual Outreach
