SNT 0756 Do You Will?
Do You Will? Shows the importance of freedom of will with Jesus Christ as an example; because God does not possess, we must have a center of reference for learning, and our only center of reference for truth is God’s Word. SNT – 756 May 11, 1975 Joh 4:43-50 Joh 4:50-54; 5:1-8 Joh 5:9-14; 3:16; (Joh 21:25) Joh 5:15-27 _____________________ Do You Will Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille SNT 0756 Manuscript Take your Bibles and go to the Gospel of John, please. It was a great day in my life, when many years ago, I learned from God’s Word that the true God never possesses. I have what’s moving into avenues and channels of learning among men and women where I was being taught that you just give yourself over to God, and that God will possess you. He will control you.
