These debates are sometimes treated as a sports even and that’s not right – we are representatives of Jesus Christ.

Sin,idols in the heart, things we love or like that lead us to iniquity, the scts of the flesh and not praying in the name of Jesus Christ.

We should ask God to help us eliminate the hindrances in our lives.

When God has answered a prayer, it is required of us to follow…

This chapter explained how to intercede and the principles of effective prayer.

1. How to intercede – During intercession we pray to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We should pray continually, in secret, and not with many words.

2. Principles of effective prayer:

Chapter 19 – Biblical poetry

In this chapter, I learnt about different types of poetry and poetry forms that are found in the Bible. There are 3 types of poetry and four different forms of poetry.

Types of poetry:

2. Dramatic poetry – poetry that is acted out

3. Lyrical poetry -…

My understanding is,while we were dead in our sins, God loved us, and gave his Son to die for us. He didn’t interview us, He didn’t test first whether we will accept the atonement through Jesus, He didn’t ask for a guarantee of obedience, He gave His Son without question.
