How to Defeat the Enemy During These Dark Days As the time
approaches for Jesus' return, the spiritual battle between good and
evil is heating up. Evidence is all around: shootings, genocide,
civil wars, increased persecution. Our enemy is real, and it seems
as if he is winning. The good news is that God is at work in
powerful ways--and that Satan is not winning. But we need to know
how to wage war against him and his plans for these turbulent days.
We must understand not only the intensified warfare environment of
the end times, but how we can walk in our authority in Jesus
Christ. Here are the practical insights you need on how to fight
using the spiritual weapons God has given us: the blood of Jesus,
the Word of God, our own testimony, and more. When we learn how to
wield these weapons, we will see victory over Satan and his kingdom
and bring hope to these dark days.

A collection of true-life stories gripped with pain, heartache, tests and trials of every nature imaginable. When enduring these difficult seasons in life, we rarely see God or the good in these catastrophic events that threatened to overtake us. Rather, we are threatened by depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, grief and heartache.
Like any soldier in action on the battlefield, you don’t have time to nurse your wounds while you fight to live. Only when the battle is over and you can find rest, can you adequately assess your wounds and the damage they might have caused. It is then you realise had it not been for God, you would not have made it that far – if it at all.
As you take stock of your pain and difficulties, you realise He was always guiding and protecting you. You realise just as the cross had a purpose for the resurrection, your pain also had a purpose and you are a stronger person because of it. Everything worked out for your good. The attacks your enemies used in their attempts to kill you, became weapons you get to uplift and empower others. When you convert your pain into purpose, you have activated your God-given power. It is the power and authority to trample on serpents as He intended of you and for you.

She has a strong sense of family values and unconditional love underpinned by her unwavering, palpable faith in God. She is a strong, tenacious, God-fearing woman, wise and kind to her core. Gilden has a calming, tender, patient way about her befitting of her profession as a nurse.
In this small but masterly-crafted book, Richard Rohr addresses
what Christianity views as the three traditional sources of evil -
the world, the flesh and the devil - to encourage us to look beyond
our personal moral failings and give us principles for resisting
evil on a wider scale. Exploring how Christianity has focused
almost exclusively on individual evil, or the sins of the flesh, he
offers a gripping interpretation of Jesus' teachings and the
writings of Paul the Apostle to show how vital it is that we also
understand the often subtle and well-disguised evil of the world
and the devil. This book offers no easy solutions. Yet, skilfully
distilling half a century of teaching and preaching, The World, the
Flesh and the Devil will leave you with a greater understanding of
evil and its role in the social issues of our time, and better
equipped to recognise and fight it. With his characteristic wisdom
and compassion, Rohr offers us principles for resisting the social
evils pervading our lives, in which we are all complicit, through
Christian contemplation and by reaching out to one another in love.
In You Are Called: Discover Your God-Given Gifts to Fulfill Your
Purpose, John Bevere relies on a careful exploration of Scripture and
uses powerful stories to help you think differently about your calling
and why it’s so important to God. You'll unlock the secrets to living
with purpose and passion! Inside you'll discover. . .
• You are called by God as much as anyone is.
• God's grace empowers you for a destiny in life that's beyond your
natural ability.
• Embrace your unique giftings and learn to operate in them for true
effectiveness.
• Your calling is greater than your natural ability. The more
impossible your challenges, the more God's grace will be manifested.
• The world needs what you have: your God-given gifts.
Carefully and biblically, this book defines and portrays gifts,
calling, and purpose, and how all these come together, by God's grace
and guidance, to lead us faithfully on our life's unique calling. Quite
surprisingly—and liberatingly—for many, John probes the teaching of
Jesus to show us that faithfulness to our calling and purpose requires
that we multiply our giftedness. This concept is clearly taught in a
way that motivates readers to move beyond being a mere spectator in
God's kingdom.
You Are Called is a spiritual enrichment guide expanding on Bevere's
message in "X: Multiply Your God Given Potential." The book's content
is filled with in-text interactive questions for personal reflection,
self-evaluation, and strong personal engagement with what the Bible
says about our gifts, our calling, our purpose, and our rewards.
Find your role, live your calling, make your mark! You Are Called
empowers you to break free from inaction, aimlessness or wrong
priorities—and to step into your true purpose with confidence.
