In a dying and fallen world, God is seeking a peculiar people to accomplish His work—to share His light, love, hope and truth. Particularly those who have said “Yes, LORD, to your will and to your way,” and are empowered. Empowered, they understand and boldly walk in their God-given authority. What does the empowered Saint look like?
