Gaining Obedience While Leaning on My Deliverance
Leader: Oh, Listen to God’s words of men of Athens and beyond. The Lord needs your obedience, the Lord needs your deliverance, the Lord needs your leadership.
People: I will gain my obedience while leaning on my deliverance.
Leader: The Lord needs your leadership in your home. As God has demanded you to be a reliable partner to your wives and a good father to your children.
People: I will gain my obedience while leaning on my deliverance.
Leader: The Lord needs your leadership in the community. As God is calling on you to make a difference in the lives of His people.
People: I will gain my obedience while leaning on my deliverance.
Leader: The Lord needs your leadership in the church. As God is commanding you to build a new church for the present age.
People: I will gain my obedience while leaning on my deliverance.
Leader: The Lord needs your leadership in fellowship with other men following the examples of Brother H.V. Brown, and Brother Raymond Roundtree. As God has ordained that iron sharpens iron when men work together.
People: It is with the blessed assurance of the Lord, that I will gain my obedience while leaning on my deliverance as I become the Leader God wants me to be.
1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.
2. Perfect submission, perfectly delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending, bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3. Perfect submission, all is at rest; I in my savior am happy and blessed, Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

It's easy to be happy when things go well for you. But what would it be like to have a sense of joy that continued even in times of trouble? Such was the deep joy that the apostle Paul experienced--even in prison. His contentment was neither dependent on circumstances nor changed by difficulty.
Our Bible Study resumes with a ninesession on Philippians. In our study Paul will show you too how to live joyfully in every situation. Order the book today on Amazon.
