Praying From Victory (Praying From The New Covenant) Series

Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on Apr 21, 2023

The cross of Jesus Christ and His resurrection changed everything FOREVER! To know this is power. The strength of the enemy’s power over the believer is only to the extent of the knowledge of Christ and His finished work that you know.
