Inwardly Certain “And if we know that he hears us — whatever we ask — we know that we have what we asked of him.”  I John 5:15 You will run into battle more aggressively if you know you cannot lose! Then and only then do the arenas of battle,…

The Darkness Within Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1 God’s man can unwittingly, unknowingly or ignorantly…
