Be Empowered in the Lord and Put on the Whole Armor of God so that You may Stand!

We cannot fight the spiritual warfare in ourselves, no matter how “strong” and “powerful” we think we may be in the spiritual realm. Firstly, we need to be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength (Eph. 6:10). We need to exercise our will to let the Lord empower us with the […]

We Need to See God’s Will and Satan’s Strategy, and Actively Choose the Will of God
