The Unseen Battle Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

In addition to a prayer of repentance, Daniel also offered up a prayer for the release of the Jews from their captivity in Babylon. Yet, the answer to his prayer was delayed, and it had something to do with an unseen battle.

Jacob And Joseph Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Nobody in the family but Joseph knew what was going on, and how God had made the salvation of Jacob's family possible by the position God had lead him to possess. Joseph did not need faith at this point, for he had knowledge, but Jacob needed faith, and that is where he was weak.

If the strong-willed child is the greatest challenge for parents, the strong-willed adult is the greatest challenge for God.
