God said through his holy men of old to “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” Psalms 107: 2 Moses had to say to Pharaoh, Let my people go,” Exodus 9:1 The prophets of old, had to speak before God was able to perform the work.
David said, I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge, my fortress, my God in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the Fowler,( he’s speaking that over others), and from noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Psalms 91: 2-4
Jesus is called “The High Priest Of Our Confession Heb. 3:1. Jesus said, “ whosoever shall say unto this mountain….Mark 11:23.
