You can’t get discipled if you are not delivered but you can get delivered and never go into discipleship.
You can’t get discipled if you are not delivered but you can get delivered and never go into discipleship.
Deliverance is what God does for you, discipleship is what God does in you.
Deliverance without discipleship is a big chest, small legs.
Deliverance without discipleship is like getting out of Egypt and never entering the promised land but getting stuck in wilderness.
Deliverance - Discipleship - Destiny

Preservation protects my comfortable life but it also prevents future Moses from being born.
