Just Stand Up

“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” – Philippians 4:13If faith is the realm in which God operates, fear is the realm in which Satan operates. Fear keeps you stuck.

by No Limits on August 27th, 2021
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” – Hebrews 11:6One way to lose your power is to succumb to fear.
