Jerusalem is about 55 feet higher today than we Jesus walked the earth. Jerusalem has been destroyed and rebuilt 4 times over the last 2,000 years beginning in 70 A.D. Every time they build on the rubble or “tell”, it gets slightly higher.
This is the year that Dunamis goes from on us to in us!
The word of the Lord over this church in 2023 is Dunamis!

Dunamis and Mercy Culture
2019 – We started praying, “Fear go, Holy Spirit come,” in Paschal High School. It spontaneously came out of a message called “Not of Fear!”
2020 – That prayer became an anthem through a song called “Fear Go!”
