Prayer

Spiritual Warfare Part I
Introduction: Never before has so much of the world been at war-nation against nation, culture against culture, brother against brother. Yet as far-reaching as this natural warfare is, it doesn’t compare to a much more extensive war in the spiritual realm. We don’t have to read very far into the New Testament before we realize…
