I am a conduit of covenant, a father of nations, a carrier of wisdom that this generation is desperate for. My best assignments are NOW.
The Father is positioning you as the elder at the gate, the one young warriors will seek when storms come. He's been storing up your failures and victories as treasure to pour into hungry hearts who need a father, not a competitor.
