Offense Follows on the Heels of Pain
When our hearts are wounded, we have two choices. How we respond will lead down two very different paths. We can choose healing and a path back toward joy. Or we can choose offense and stand on the slippery slope and slide slowly into bitterness, anger, depression and demonic oppression. And let me tell you…

Offense

What Blocks Answers To Prayer?
Many things can actually block prayer. Block Our Own Prayers? That’s one way our prayers become blocked. And there are several others.
