Armed and Right-e-ous
The enemy knows our weaknesses, and we need to be aware of them as well, because that is exactly where he will strike time after time… When we fail to use the armor of God we become ineffective soldiers for God…

Prayers & Promises
Jesus did not give us a ‘blank check’; He only promised to deliver requests made in “His name”.
Whose Ambassador are You?
Believers must never allow the affairs of earth to distract us from our purpose here, which is attending to the interests and affairs of God as they pertain to this world.

If the people of Capernaum refused to believe Jesus when He identified Himself as the Messiah, do you think they would have believed it if the devils declared it??

Rather, we should call on God to remove problems from our lives so that we can accomplish the goals He has set for us.
