Full Transcript
I started to fast forward through scripture and my mind said, the only king I know of that shouted was one who went to a cross one day. And as he was drawing his last breath, it says he shouted with a loud voice, it is finished, hallelujah. The power of sin is broken, the penalty of sin is broken.
The people that have turned to me have been redeemed. I've called them by my name. I'll never forget them, I'll never forsake them.
They are mine, and when they go through the fire, I will be with them and they won't be burned. And when they go through the flood, I'll be with them and the water won't drown them. I will love them with an everlasting love.
I will never leave them and I will never forsake them. And I will give them power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy.
