There you go, based on a vision my brain conjoured up about me finally beating my deranged brother in law in a battle of wits and not having to face the consequences of it. One day I'll be able to tell him how much the family hates him, but for now we must all play along.

How to Have Victory over a Jezebel Spirit

How to Have Victory over a Jezebel Spirit

There is a reason you don’t name your newborn daughter Jezebel, right? There just seems to be a taboo and sinful association with this name.

WAYS WE OVERCOME THE WORLD

Thankfully, “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). Light always overcomes darkness, but darkness…

I interviewed several people and then researched what many leading Christian writers, authors, and spokesmen have written about the subject.

Be the light

I’ve been in sadness overload.

The events of the past week have really stirred a great emptiness within. I feel myself being sucked into the darkness of fear and fury. I’m watching the news and scouring the internet for updates.
