    Man’s greatest problem is separation from God. Because man is separated from God, he does not experience the abundant life found in having a personal relationship with God.

    When a person chooses to believe the devil rather than God problems happen, so do not give up nor shup up until you have prayed up.

    One of the places that man suffers his major defeat is in the bed. The sudden trouble of a lot of people started on their beds.
