However, having said that, the Lord will do great and mighty things for anyone who will dare to believe Him. WEALTH AND HEALTH Wealth and health certainly were not the purpose of the children of Israel being delivered out of Egyp- tian bondage, but it was rather their being brought out from under the iron yoke of Pharaoh, who was a type of the Devil, and to whom they actually belonged as slaves. Still, health and wealth were given to the children of Israel even though it was not the prime purpose of their deliverance. 4 JANUARY 2017 THE EVANGELIST THE JIMMY SWAGGART PRICELESS CORNER We have set aside this corner of The Evangelist to show God’s Plan of Salvation. If you are unsure where you will go when you die, please listen to what God has said in His Word: • The Lord would teach Israel faith and trust in the wilderness. In fact, FIRST: GOD LOVES YOU! the wilderness was such that “For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but whatever it was that was supplied have Everlasting Life” (Jn. 3:16). to Israel, as it regarded their suste SECOND: MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN nance and maintenance, would HAS SEPARATED HIM FROM GOD have to be provided by the Lord. It “For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and sinneth not” (Eccl. 7:20). was a most inhospitable place, but “For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God” the Lord would show them that He (Rom. 3:23). was able to set a table, so to speak, THIRD: JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REMEDY FOR SIN even in the wilderness, and for “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God ...” (I Pet. 3:18). some 3 million souls at that! “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we WHAT WE LEARN FROM THE must be saved” (Acts 4:12). FOURTH: YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR Jesus calls this experience the new birth. He told All of us want blessings, and rightly so; Nicodemus: “... Except a man be born again, he cannot however, while we learn great things see the Kingdom of God” (Jn. 3:3). about God from blessings, the truth is, We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as When it comes to finances, we had best your personal Saviour. “But as many as received Him, we learn next to nothing about our- to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to check our motives.
