This Month: Global Advance New Bible Training Centers Current Happenings Word of the Lord It is a most powerful thing to get a word from the Lord…one that brings peace and direction. Usually the word comes in a time of one's devotion or in the numerous ways that God speaks to us. I found such words a couple of weeks ago reading the prophet Isaiah in chapter 33 and verse 6. "Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times." We are called to understand the times and to know what to do. The wisdom and knowledge of the Godhead is the mainstay of our salvation. We have a spiritual hoard of deliverances, victories, and continual assurance thr ough wisdom and knowledge. And when we fear God, these treasures are available to us.
Dear Joshua Nations Partner, I am writing to you from a hotel in Dallas just before a very important conference with the Global Advance Ambassadors, pastors from across America. Our continual and increasing partnership allows us to impact the kingdom more effectively and provides more tools for us to use. We thank God for Global Advance and increased vision to establish multitudes of Bible Training Centers around the world. New Bible Training Centers •

Proverbs gives us awesome knowledge and wisdom. When I need an answer, direction or solution I read the book of Proverbs in a sitting. It has never failed to give me all that I need.
