Pastor Eric's Words of Redemption

Bible verse:

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 NIV

For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

God is what He declared Himself to be in any and every situation.

My prayer:

Father, I thank You for the knowledge of Revelation to know that You are the Great I AM that I AM.  As You revealed yourself to Moses, guide me through Revelation, each day, to be fully equipped to counteract the falsehood, and craftiness of the kingdom of darkness clothed in light, to kill, steal, and destroy; in Jesus Christ's name, Amen.

And all my days be Thine.
