“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 . “Regard as free not those whose status makes them outwardly free, but those who are free in their character and conduct.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12 . “There is a Light who is the Creator of the sun’s light. Let us love that light. Let us yearn to reach out and thirst for Him. Consequently, He will lead and take us to Him.

“O Lord my God, in You I put my trust, Save me from all those who persecute me, And deliver me” – Psalm 7:1 . “Faith and prayer are the keys by which the gates of God’s mercies are opened and the arms by which a believer overcomes a formidable temptation and conquers his spiritual enemy. In time of trouble, believer always flees to the Lord of the whole church and takes refuge in Him who gives a personal shelter and has the power to deliver from the adversary who threatens to kill him. He finds all-sufficency and security in…
