THE SILENT ENEMY OF YOUR SPIRIT!
To silence the enemy of your spirit, the Bible emphasizes submitting to God, resisting the devil, and utilizing the Word of God as a weapon of authority.
You sing, “Jesus Power… Super Power…” But why does your spirit still feel heavy? Because the fruits of sin - hidden bitterness, anger, jealousy and unforgiveness silently lock the spirit.
Your spirit was created to walk with God, admire Him and dwell in His presence - not to carry envy, offence, pain of the past or bitterness.
Don’t let sin disconnect your heart from the One who created you.
Let go! Forgive! Heal! Free your spirit from sin!
