Mga Paraan Para Maging Matagumpay
Ang ating kaaway, ang demonyo, ay gusto na pahinain ang ating loob (discourage) sa pamamagitan ng pagtatanim sa atin ng duda (doubt) sa Salita ng Diyos. Dapat natin maintindihan na ang ating kaaway ay natalo na ni Jesus at wala na siyang power laban sa atin (mga believers). Pero dapat pa rin tayong maging handa na gumamit ng mga estratehiya (strategies) laban sa kanyang panloloko.
Ang Ating Talunang (Defeated) Kaaway
Ano ang mga sinusubukang gawin ng demonyo?
