  Speaker 1: to confirm for you God's great love for us, that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: his compassion for us never fails, and that he has
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a great faithfulness toward us in every regard. In Lamentations
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Chapter three, verses twenty two and twenty three, we read,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for his compassions never failed. They are new every morning.

  Speaker 1: a friend, you can hear this program anytime online at
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Talknetwork Radio dot com. Well, now here's Richard with today's reflection.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Until Jesus came, there were only those who were victims.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Now we are more than conquerors for Him that loves
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: us Romans eight thirty seven. Today's reflection is entitled are
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: we victims or victim? The gospel message is defined as
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: good news, But why for someone who is suffering from
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: the sin in his or her life to realize forgiveness.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: That's good news. For someone who's suffering from the sickness
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: in their life to realize healing, that good news. For
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: someone who's suffering from demonic influence in his or her life,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to realize deliverance, that's good news. For someone who is
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: suffering from blindness in their life physically and spiritually, to
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: receive their sight. That's good news. For someone who is
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: suffering from the bondage of imprisonment to realize freedom, that's
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: good news. When John the Baptist was in need of
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: assurance that Jesus was the Messiah, the Christ, he sent
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: his disciples to inquire of Jesus. Then Jesus, answering them,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: said under them, go your way, and tell John what
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: things you've seen and heard, How that the blind see,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the death here
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the dead or raised, and the poor received the good
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: news of the Gospel. Luke seven twenty two. Are we
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: victorious followers of our Lord and Savior. The darkness of
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: sin made victims of the pride of God's creation. Jesus
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: came to manifest the light of God in the midst
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of the world's darkness. Now he says that we are
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the light of the world because we are the image
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of God and in him is no darkness. Jesus said
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: his mission on earth was to destroy the works of
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the devil First John three eight.
• 4:11

  Speaker 1: to wrap up today's message.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: It's in the amazing thing. The Hebrew meaning for salvation
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is more than forgiveness. It is healing, deliverance, freedom, provision, wealth,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and holiness. David wrote in Psalms fifty one, verses ten
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: through twelve, create in me a clean heart, O God,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: away from thy presence, and take not the Holy Spirit
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and uphold me with thy free spirit. Until Jesus came,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: there were only those who were victims. Now you and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I we who are his followers, We are more than
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: conquerors through Him that loves us Romans eight thirty seven.
