     | 2,472 views

     | 5,851 views

    Pleading the blood of Jesus.

    AN ANSWER TO THE ACCUSER. Psalm 26. One of the names for the devil is, ‘the accuser of the brethren’ (Revelation 12:10).

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,994 views

    The Christian faith, after all, is deeply personal. When we abide in Christ, we rest in God.

    OUR REST ONLY IN GOD. Psalm 84:1-4.

    Hear me, Show me, Keep me, Hide me.

    A PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE. Psalm 17:1-9. PSALM 17:1.

When we use this Psalm, we are not appealing to our own ...read more
