Escape

Escape from Pentecostal Tabernacle on Vimeo.

Bishop Brian Greene preaches from Ezra 9:7-9 KJV about how GOD’s grace (favor) delivers us. He helps us to escape to GOD’s Holy place that He has prepared for us. It is in that place that we can receive GOD’s blessings and fulfill the plan that HE has for us.

Ezra 9:7-9 KJV
⁷ Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
⁸And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
⁹For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.

Mercy is when we do not get what we deserve.

Grace is when we get what we do not deserve
