The Imprisoned Believer

Jesus came to the earth to give us the new kind of life, a new kind of love, a new kind of faith and a new kind of righteousness. When he uttered that cry from his heart “It is finished…” it means that everything that against mankind was completely eradicated and taken away at the cross and eventually at His ascension on Hig at the right hand of the Father. Today, everyone who believers in Him need not walk in failure or defeat in any area of their lives.

Yet in the Christian World today, we find Christians struggling with sin, habit, sickness and dieases. Poverty and financial lack seems to bring dissatisfaction and turmoil to any Christian home. Christians fighting a sense of unworthiness and guilt that often plagues them. They don’t seem to rise above the circumstances to a place of usefulness in the body of Christ. Where can we find the answers to the many questions that we have?

We believe many in the church are “prisoners in the promised land...” And our purpose is to bring the truth of the finished work in its fullness continuously before the “eyes” of the believer that he will rise and walk in the benefits that rightfully belong to him.

In this study we will find some reasons why God’s people are in defeat in the land of Promise.
