Deliverance


Deliverance

 

2nd Cor. 4: 10-11 “Always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus Christ,

that the Life of Jesus may be manifested in our body, for we who live are always delivered

to death for Jesus’ sake, that the Life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh”

 

We live our life by the energy of the supernatural Life of Christ.

His resurrection power … is sustained and sustaining.

This does not mean you won’t be weak again but one thing is for certain

God’s work won’t be suffering ... because of your weakness “reigning”.

 

God never dispenses His Life or Strength ... to be consumed it selfishly.

God gives His strength to us ... so we can die to ourselves.

To do that on our own ... is truly impossible

for the natural in us is strong and it takes years to kill the self.
