Helped By God Part 1: Obtaining Mercy by Apostle Joshua Selman
How do you explain a life without an advantage?
Anything plus God is equal to the result he puts there.
There is no limit to the possibilities that exist in the life of a believer in Christ.
The life we have been called into is a life of tremendous advantage if and when you understand the systems that God has built to guarantee that advantage.
Psalm 82:5-7 KJV, Ephesians 4:18 KJV
The faith life, the kingdom life is knowledge dependent. 1 Corinthians 8:2 KJV
It is a risk to try and sow in ignorance or limited knowledge. Luke 1:1-4 KJV, Romans 9:16 KJV, Acts 26:22 KJV, 2 Chronicles 26:5; 15 KJV
God makes men by helping them.
Psalms 121:1-2 KJV
Help – To help means to make it easy or possible for someone to do or achieve something by offering your service or offering your resources. To make ease or create possibilities.
It is only marvelous when it is the Lord’s doing.
