Rev. Harrington's 2016 Prophetic Insights are up on the Dove Ministries website! For many years she has written insights that the Spirit of God has given her.

Without it God's people perish (Proverbs 29:18). Some of you may face incredible challenges in the coming year, but this is not the season to lose hope. These insights will help guide your course as you gain God's wisdom by praying over them before you make decisions.
