The Fatherhood of God in Your Life

We're going to read a context here that I think long term can give us a wonderful, wonderful hope. The word of the Lord was, you're in captivity, but if you'll do this my way, you'll thrive there. What you think is destroying your life is actually going to be the platform for your greatest promotion. And seek the peace of the city. This is one of my favorite verses in the whole Bible because it hit me 30, 35 years ago when we began to focus on the prayer for the benefit of our city and not thinking it's us and them.
