[Faith-Talk] Thoughts on Spiritual Warfare

[Kristina Sohl]

L that Scripture actually came up this morning in my YouVersion app and I
bookmarked. It. Also started one of their plans on taking back what the
enemy stole. It's only 3 days, but it'll be a start as I try to find local
help through our church and maybe professional help for some other issues
that a deer very strong. Christian friend of mine thinks may all be feeding
into all of this and that the enemy is just taking advantage of it all.
Thank you for the prayers and I would ask for a continued prayers for
protection for myself, for our home, for both of us. Also, I feel more
empowered knowing and now that the holy Spirit is here with me and the
fights with me and for me and has beaten the enemy and will do so again. So
for me that feels really strengthening to know that.
