When the Lord began to place the vision of Fortress Church in my heart, I not only started to get excited about it, but I would find myself seeking Him more, and praying more, and trusting in Him more, and becoming more intimate with God. And maybe, that's exactly what the Lord wants from us. To be more intimate with Him. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Life is a series of opportunities, masked as difficulties.
To increase our faith in God. God wants our faith to increase. And every time we purpose to get closer to Him, our faith increases. Fight the good fight of the faith. Climbing begins with kneeling .
