‘The Lord Stayed With
Me.’

time when Apostle Paul had to defend himself and no one stood with him.

was able to proclaim the full Message for the Gentiles to hear.

so encouraged: The Lord Stayed With Me)
‘Jephthah – An Unwise Leader.’
Judges 12:1.

Ephraim felt rejected by him.
b)
They challenged Jephthah because of his
decision.

Chris.
The Lord stayed with Apostle Paul and gave him
strength. Yes, when the Lord is with us He will surely give us strength. The
important thing is that we treasure His Presence with us and do not take His
Presence for granted.
