     | 6,020 views

    For many Chrisitans standing for the Lord day after day, month after month, and year after year can be frustrating because of the enemy’s constant attacks. We have to come to the place of accepting this as our way of life.

    I was reading an article and it spurred my thoughts about the message for tonight. The gist of the article was that most of the Body of Christ is not prepared for dealing with the things that enemy throws at us. It made me think about some of the things we’ve been taught in the past and what we ...read more
