Apostle Kate

“When all our enemies heard about it, and all the [Gentile] nations around us saw it, they lost their confidence; for they recognized that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.”
‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Works disqualify you because it doesn’t allow God to give it to you by grace. It is by grace and grace alone.

“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous and [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]”
‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬ ‭AMP‬‬
