PRINCIPLES OF KINGDOM LIVING
LESSON 22
DELIVERANCE
Called unto liberty – Deliverance – the plan God gave for all men and woman to be free.
The underlying message of the gospel, the one that shakes the iron grip of death and suffering off of men of every generation is that Christ Jesus came to set us free from sin and death and the terrorism of the devil.
To be free then, from the effects of sin and the devil, is a guaranteed promise and reality of those that have put their faith in Jesus Christ for their salvation.
