Christmas is the perfect time to look back and reflect on all that God did for us in sending Christ to our rescue.

If you are in the middle of spiritual warfare, you need to declare the word of God back to the enemy. The Bible tells us to use the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Therefore, praying the word of God is your defense against the enemy’s attacks. You have all power and authority over satan. The victory is yours. Declare it over your life today.
