    Life is good when the masses are behind us but what about when we find our message has fallen out of vogue? What are we to do when the cries turn from “Hosanna!” to “Crucify”?

    Taking Power From Hell

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 29, 2017
     | 6,186 views

    Certain principles of Scripture are God’s weapons to turn back the Enemy’s assaults. When these truths are in your life they take away hell’s ability to torment. Satan uses certain tools; remove those tools and you take power away from hell!

He often mocked her faith and derided her as misguided and having an “imaginary friend.” 2. One day he overheard her praying for some groceries.
