     | 5,199 views

    Power tools are a great parallel for the supernatural power tools of God we can use in spiritual warfare. The Name of Jesus, the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and the Blood of Jesus are forces which can overwhelm the enemy. Use God's power tools!

Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:24). When God and mammon become rivals, one or other will inevitably be rejected. In spiritual ...read more
