"Surely The Arm Of The Lord Is Not Too Short To Save …"

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Feb 6, 2018

God is able to do anything for us; It is our sins that separate us from Him, but if we repent, His hands are not too short that He cannot save us.

This teaching is based on my understanding of Isaiah 59:1from the Spirit of God. Depending on the translation you use, the word 'Surely' may mean: Certainly; Listen; Behold; See; Look; etc. Speaking of the arm of the Lord, it is the power of God. We hear God saying to Moses in Num. 11:23 that His ...read more
