And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Psalm 27:6

We are to remain constant, fearless, and at peace. His Word says, "The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest" (Exodus 14:1).

Then one day God spoke a life-changing word to me, saying, "Why don't you study the Word, and see how Jesus waged spiritual warfare?"



I found that Jesus didn't talk or… Continue

Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! 2 Cor. 5:17



When God baptized me in the Holy Ghost, I felt like He had filled me with liquid love. He did something on the inside of me, and it showed on hte outside of me. Internal changes last, and keep showing up in everything we do.
