    The chief cause of most of our failure and misfires when it comes to being a soldier of the cross is using someone else’s weapons or tools…and not the ministry to which we have been personally called and gifted by God.

    When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
