An AP vision empowers everyone to hear what God is saying about your own destiny and gives you the spiritual handles to move into your own personal destiny.

We need new mindsets because God is constantly changing our wineskin. It takes effort to catch up. Application – You are responsible to get into your destiny. The 5 fold is to equip you to get there.
