How do we live an Overcoming life?

Having understood His Love & Truth --- then -- leaning on the Pillars of Submission & Obedience – We can now move forward with Boldness and Courage

• Exodus 34: 10 - 16• Israelites were not to make any covenants

with the inhabitants of the land• God was protecting the Israelites from the

sins of the land and ensure Israelites were faithful to move forward in His will

The rite of circumcision – repres ents the- on going proces s of submitting ourselves
