Why is it important to know that you are fighting from victory, rather than fighting for victory? How might you better prepare yourself for spiritual attack that may come against you this week?

CONCLUSION THE VICTORY THE ARMOUR SPIRITUAL WARFARE THE ENEMY God does not dress us, the responsibility for putting it on is ours. THE VICTORY Blessing and victory already there with your name written on them. THE ATTACK God given desires twisted into the illegitimate. SPIRITUAL WARFARE War in the Spiritual realm played out in the Physical. THE ENEMY Deceptive strategies from the ultimate magician

Pray for spiritual awareness and sensitivity to recognise the subtle attack of the evil one..
