 Hello Prophetic, Praying, Company of Believers,

We had a beautiful time in the scriptures with our speaker being our own Sis. Andria.  She welcomed us to walk in our identity as kings and priests.  Follow the path of scriptures to understand our calling as kings and priest of the order of Melchizedek.
