Today and tonight, the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will be at work in people who are related to your future. For some readers, this may include a spouse.

One night, Jesus prayed through the night to discern which of His disciples would be the first of His apostles (Luke 6:12-16). He trained them to lead the ekklesia that He told them He was building.
