Thursday // Warrior :: Weapons
Title: Blood of Jesus Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. – Ephesians 6:11 We are in a spiritual battle, and Satan is always ready with his schemes and fiery darts. Over the years, I have seen my wife become a true prayer warrior. She shows […]
Tuesday // Fuel :: Word
Title: The Light of God’s Word For the word of God is alive and active.

For […]
Monday // Surrender:: Confess

Title: It’s called today Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today. – Hebrews 3:13a God has promised us blessings, but we should not let stubbornness, sin, or a lack of faith take that away from us.

Thursday // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Minds of Men For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c Our minds can feel like battlefields, where struggles happen every day.

Tuesday // Fuel :: Spirit
Title: Using the Sword So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh – Galatians 5:16 Walking in the Spirit is essential, but it is not always easy.
