Hebrews 2:4

2 Cor 10:3-5
Rev.12:11
Isa 59:19
And God confirms His Word by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ
They defeated the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
Our focus for 2017 :
Releasing the power of God through your life
“Most Christians are giving the world explanations
when they’re starving for a demonstration.”
“In order to believe for the impossible, we must see the invisible.
The world says
“If I see it, I’ll believe it”
The Christian says
“Because I believe it, I can see it”
