Identity
Initially it wasn’t in the manuscript. That was the case until the Lord laid out the theme in great detail, at nearly the last minute, in the midst of a dream one night. Its inclusion has been powerful, as many have relayed to me the Lord’s ministry in their lives through chapter six in The…
