ephesians-6:12

As believers consider their warfare against Satan, two extremes must be carefully avoided. The first extreme is the tendency to ignore this enemy and to treat the whole subject of demonology lightly. One of Satan’s clever strategies against us is to keep us in ignorance of his power and working. A p... Read More

The Church of God is called to be a militant Church, not a Church passive, nor a Church awake with the energy of the flesh; but a Church militant in the power and energy of the Holy Spirit.
