◾️ There is a HUGE difference between knowing ABOUT someone (like you would a public figure)… versus actually KNOWING them (like you would a close friend).
◾️ When it comes to God, He longs for friendship with us. And it’s in and through an intimate relationship with Him that we experience life, freedom, healing, and power that we can’t find anywhere else.
◾️ So how do we “get to know” the Holy Spirit?
◾️ Join us today as we continue with our series, The God I Never Knew, and see how real friendship with the Holy Spirit changes your life!
