God has come to deliver / Armenia Day of Prayer (TV Audio)

'I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them' (Exodus 3.7-8). 
Jesus is the only one who can deliver! He wants to reach out to you! You need to find Him, not just for your miracle of healing, but to be set free, delivered from that sin, that problem you cannot get rid of. God gave His Son just for you: to rescue, deliver and heal you. That’s why when you are in a crisis, God is the closest. Not in your prosperity, not when you are on top of the world, but in the crisis, in the pain, that’s when Jesus is the closest to you. I thank God for my 10 months in prison – when I was tortured, when they were starving me of food, when they did every kind of bad thing – in the darkness of my prison, that’s when I found Jesus in a new way, the reality and evidence of who He is. When 60 years ago I had throat cancer, 20 years ago I had lung cancer – it was in the darkness of my despair that I found the real Jesus. 
Addressing the Day of Prayer in Armenia, David said, “I believe God has called me at this strategic time to your nation. Armenia is facing a crisis, but all our times are in God’s Hands – and that’s why we’re here together today. Your unity in prayer is something I have dreamt about for years. We are one Body, but many different parts. Together today we proclaim the Name of Jesus over this nation, and symbolically we cover Armenia with the Blood of the Lamb and claim God’s protection. Armenia, you do not stand alone against the enemy, God is with you. O God, put a wall of fire around this nation that no enemy can break through! Armenia, this is God’s message to you: ‘I have seen your misery, I have heard your cry, and I am come down to deliver.’ God – your God – is already here!”

Jesus ever lives to intercede / Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 7 (TV Audio)

Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 7. 'Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant. Jesus lives for ever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.' (Hebrews 7.22-25, NIV.) The Old Testament high priest entered the presence of God once a year to plead for the forgiveness of the nation's sins; whereas Christ makes perpetual intercession before God for us. Christ's continuous presence in Heaven with the Father assures us that our sins have been paid for and forgiven. This wonderful assurance frees us from guilt and fear.
 

The certainty of God’s promise / Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 6 (TV Audio)

Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 6. God's promises are unchanging and completely trustworthy because God is unchanging and trustworthy. When promising Abraham a son, God took an oath in His own Name. The oath was as good as God's Name, and God's Name was as good as His divine nature.
 

Jesus our great High Priest / Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 5 (TV Audio)

Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 5. Prayer is our approach to God, and we are to come 'boldly'. Some Christians approach God meekly with heads hung low, afraid to ask Him to meet their needs. Others pray flippantly, giving little thought to what they say. Come with reverence because He is our King. But also come with bold assurance because He is your Friend and Counsellor.
 

Entering the rest of God / Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 4 / (TV Audio)

Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 4. Chapter 4 of Hebrews reverts to the theme of Chapter 3, the Promise of entering a Coming Rest. Paul writes, v1, ‘Let us fear therefore lest, a promise being left us of entering into His Rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.’ In v4, you see that Paul is linking this Rest to the Seventh Day of Creation. For six days God created – and on the seventh day, He rested from His Work. This is a picture of the 1000-year Rest, the Millennial reign of Christ on earth which still to come!
 

The faithfulness of Jesus / Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 3 (TV Audio)

Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 3. 'Fix your thoughts on Jesus!' Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, He is our everything, He is all that you need. Our faith is not based on religion or ceremony, our faith is based on Jesus as our apostle and high priest. Who else do we need but Jesus?!
 

A great salvation / Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 2 (TV Audio)

Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 2. We have received a great salvation through Christ, so we must be careful not to drift away. Only through faith in Christ are we saved: He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The message of Christ was first preached by those who witnessed the miracles, but like the original readers of Hebrews, we base our belief on eyewitness accounts.
 

The superiority of Jesus / Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 1 (TV Audio)

Hebrews Bible Study Chapter 1. The first chapter of Hebrews describes in detail how Jesus Christ fulfils the prophecies of the Old Testament. In the past God spoke to His people by various means: Isaiah, in visions; Jacob, in dreams; whilst to Abraham and Moses, God spoke personally. But now God speaks through Jesus. Jesus is the fulfilment and culmination of God’s revelation. When we know Jesus, we have all we need to be saved and have a perfect relationship with God.
