INTRODUCTION
That
one is a bona-fide born again child of God and even a spirit filled one, does
not mean that one will not have challenges to overcome. Otherwise the Bible would not have written:
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations; knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience.”
James 1:2-3.
As a
child of God that is growing in Christ, there will be problems, adversity, and challenges
to overcome. The moment you vouch to become part of Jesus’ army the enemy will
draw the sword and the battle starts. In this battle you can choose to be
defeated or to be an overcomer. Which do
you choose?
