Guest Speaker Pastor Jason Anderson. Are the promises of God a gift or a wage? in order to receive the blessings of God, is it something that we need to work for or is it something that is given to us freely? The answer is that the favor of God is a FREE GIFT that has been given to us with no strings attached. There are two doors to walk through, one that has been unlocked and is standing open and the other is shut and locked. We have been called to walk through the open door as a gift and no to wait at the locked door working to unlock it.
