God had a plan for your life from the very beginning of time! And we can learn more about His purposes for us through four promises found in the Old Testament.

Pastor and author Chris Hodges joins Jo to discuss the four stages of faith for every believer and the assurance of God’s plan to rescue and deliver you from whatever holds you back.  It’s a review of  .

Chris lists four promises that God has made that we all share:

  • God wants to rescue you from bondage.
  • He wants to deliver you from whatever holds you back.
  • He wants you to discover his original intention for your life.
  • And he wants you to be a part of a family that is making a difference.

Understanding God’s plan for our lives takes us away from going through each day with a survival mentality to the freeing knowledge of something more.

Highlight – Stepping into purpose

We focus on four promises that God made in chapters 6 and 7 of the book of Exodus:

  • I want to bring you out of Egypt – The Cup of Sanctification 
  • I will free you from being slaves –  The Cup of Deliverance
  • I will redeem you – The Cup of Redemption
  • I will be your God – The Cup of Praise

“Bondage is when you are living a life you know you weren’t intended to live.”  – Chris

Here are some additional elements we speak about:

  • Surrender is extraordinarily important.
  • Our enemy wants to keep us always in cup two because he knows there is a cup three & four.
  • We speak about vital scriptures such as 1 John 1:9, James 5:16, Psalm 32, Psalm 18:16, and Romans 12.
  • In our search for lasting freedom, we need to go to God for forgiveness and people for healing.
