    As a young man I missed the point. I always said: LORD TEACH ME HOW TO PRAY... That is not what the disciples said: THEY SAID: LORD TEACH ME TO PRAY. Often, when all is said about prayer, more is said than done?

     | 4,012 views

    The strongest foothold that the enemy can use to ensnare and bind a person is made up of the three-fold cord of worry, depression, and stress.

    These three emotions are the most effective weapons used by the enemy to immobilize and disarm the Born-Again Christian in every area of their life.
