THE DELIVERANCE OF JESUS

Image
Jesus prayed for His own deliverance in the spirit of His need for endurance and service. We also pray that we are able to do and finish what we have been saved, called, and committed to do.  Bible Readings In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. (Heb 5:7 ESV) This same Jesus (Acts 2:36) 1. He emptied Himself (Php 2:1 – 11) 2. He prayed to one able to save Him (Heb 5:7) Our Deliverance This same child of God 1. Emptied herself a.

ENLARGEMENT is appointed for you, and if you refuse to grow, you will be swept away! This should not sound scaring for you, because I am talking about something in relation to your income and influence! God wants them to grow because He lives in you. Hey! I am not talking to just anybody here o! As Jesus said, “It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs” (Matthew 15:26).
