Have a secret place.
Have a secret history with God, a secret life of worship that only God sees. Without a secret places of worship, there will be no living source for the pure flow when we are in public.

I wonder if heaven is waiting for a shaking too. Let's storm the atmosphere of heaven and see.
The concept of musicians coming together to play harmoniously, in unity, to release a symphony is first found in the Bible. Let’s explore this idea and find out what kinds of bands God is looking for today.
