Christmas - Part 1

Deliverance From Snares, Traps And Evil Networks Of Life

Contributed by Bode Ayodele on Sep 5, 2007

Satan on daily basis is seeking to trap and snare God’s children. Many relationships, business ventures and decisions taken end up being cleverly covered snares. Unfortunately, most people realise this too late and even when they do, they do not know how
