Spiritual Warfare
Foundational Scriptures
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

“How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.
How often do we osculate and vacillate between two opinion.

Should I or shouldn’t? Hmmmmm!
Have you ever seen someone just tear their lives up because they can not make a clear decision?
Should I go or not go?
Should I should I take the new job or stay at the old one?
Should I tell my supervisor that someone is stealing or not?

You have to make up your mind how your life is going to be, and once you have made up your mind, that is it. No one can convince me otherwise! Say this with me “ I am a blessed child of God regardless of where I live, or the money I have in the bank.”

I will no long believe what other say about me, I must believe what God has to say about me.
I will no long have a double mind about:
Myself

Say this with me “ I shall have sweat-less victory this year!”
