Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:11-12

Do you ever feel discouraged and not worthy of God’s love, attention and healing? Do you think at times you’ve sinned to often or your sin is too grevious and God really doesn’t want you?
You cannot go with God and stay where you are. -Henry Blackaby
