Posted on by Garnet Nowell

You are not alone in your struggle. Sometimes we think we are the only person who is struggling. However, the Word tells us that everyone is being stalked. 1 Peter 5:9 says Believers throughout the world are undergoing the same struggles. You are not alone.

We have to be willing to face those threats head-on for God is Read More
