“God has called me to “The Nobody’s” or “The No Names.” The ones who’ve been left behind and rejected. My heart’s desire is give leaders their flowers while they are living. To honor those who are actually doing the works unnoticeably. I promised God that I’m operating in “the who so ever will, let them come, spirit.” My job is to be a door opener, because that’s who he’s called me to be,” Prophetess Kendria said.
So the last shall be first, and the first last: For many be called, but few chosen. Matthew 20:16 (KJV) 16
