You can BELIEVE IT, because it’s true.

You can DEFEND IT, because there’s evidence.

You can LIVE IT OUT, because Jesus died and was resurrected.

Being a Christian IS NOT a cakewalk. If you haven’t yet been knocked off your rocker from a spiritual attack… You’ll probably be knocked off soon. Praise God that He is Victor and, in Him, we are, too. Join us as Manny Elias walks us through what we need to know about spiritual warfare, the demonic realm, and the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20).
