God's word shows us that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Satan is our enemy. We know him only too well. Who we need desparately to know is Jesus, so that we can deal with the devil and have victory over him and his lies.

Many of you spoke with me last week about how important it is to know more about our enemy, the devil. There is a need to know our enemy, as Heath Smith reminded me, and it is clear from scripture as Jesus tells us, "We need to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves."

Why Do Some People Promote Psalm 83 In Our Days As A War? Series

I never used to hear anything about this Psalm a few years ago, but now a few people are making reference to it. Some are going as far as to say this is a prophetic event that ...read more
