The sense of God being with us is a necessary experience for every True Believer. If we do not have the confidence of God being with us, we will always have some kind of instability in our daily life. The Bible asks us that, if God is for us, who can be against us? The Bible also tells us that God is able to keep us from falling. The Bible tells us that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. The Bible tells us that God is with us always. Let us have confidence that God is with us today.

Let us obey God and thus experience His Guidance.

Chris.

Setting people free from their bondage is a very excellent and necessary ministry. This is not just some kind of "witch hunt" ministry prayer over someone. Yes, sometimes ministry with compassion may be needed, but there is much more to setting people free from their bondage than that. In order to be free and to maintain freedom we need to be taught the Word of God. In order to be free and to maintain freedom we need to attend worship service regularly. In order to be free and to maintain freedom we need to have edifying fellowship with fellow True Believers.
