Full Transcript
You were ever born, I knew you in your mother's womb and I had a destiny for your life. The enemy tried to come in and take you captive and destroy that, but tonight I want you to know, today I want you to know, this is the beginning of your freedom. I've come to get you and I've sent the weak and I've sent the feeble.
In the book of 1 Corinthians, the scripture tells us that God does not choose the wise or the noble or the virtuous or those of royal birth. A few maybe, but not many. But he does choose the foolish and the weak and the nobodies and the nothings of this world.
He changes us from the inside out, gives us power over what drove us into our fears, gives us a message of redemption for you and sends us to where you are to say God is with us and if you will follow the words that we speak, he is going to lead you supernaturally.
