A Plea for Deliverance, Part 2

Scripture: Matthew 6:13

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: The Lord's Prayer

Synopsis: This request is a prayer that our Father would enable us to live in the full enjoyment of the liberty given to those who sons of God'. We know that because this seventh request recognizes there is a real threat to the enjoyment of that liberty and hence the need to pray this request. The Bible says much about the greatness of our deliverance that was purchased for us. It takes place in two great realms which are covered in tonight's message. Then we conclude with an observation that may put this Lord's Prayer in a totally different light for you.
