A Prophesy with a Confirming Sign
Sometime ago, at a women 's conference, my wife received. I interpreted "I am going to have her and I" The latter proportion of the prophecy as "we were not moving away from Las Vegas" and that "we would not need to rent out our home." She went on to say we would go and pastor a church for about one year, mentor a It was an unusual prophet word for us at the time since we did not feel a call out of our current church.
Sometime later our visit to start church extensions (satellite churches) within the city of Las Vegas. It just so happened that we purchased an old day care building in the south part of town around 8 miles from our home. The pastoral I started remember reminding them about the prophecy. I started chronologically to wishing and I received. We started to recruit The prophetic word that my wife and I received was coming to fruition the way the prophetess had told us it would.

After tying the events of the day together, the interpretation can be summed up this way, "Joel Garcia is in the south building a gate for God 's kingdom." This was truly a sign from god. The prophetic dots came together for me in this encounter. Here & # 39; s a summary of the prophetic dots:
1. A prophetical word is given to my wife and I about establishing a church in the "south" area of town.
2. On an outreach to the community, the team and I encountered a man who "shared" my exact name.
3. We found the man who shared shared my name building a "gate" in his garage.
4. My constant theme during my training sessions of establishing "gates" in the "south" area of town.
5. The church is called "Southgate", and it is thriving today.
What the prophetic dots are put together are embolden one to continue working for God without any lingering doubt in one & # 39; s mind.
