The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. (Psalm 9:9,10 NIV) After reading this verse, a weight can be lifted off your shoulders. I personally felt like a balloon would be losing its air, slowly releasing all the pressure.

First, the Holy Spirit will nudge us to leave. This nudge is like an immediate red flag striking our minds. It will be a tug in our hearts. Will we immediately walk […]

A trap designed by Satan. One step in and we could be stuck, wrapped in darkness. Have you ever seen an insect caught in a spider’s web? The sole purpose of the insect is to be devoured by the spider. Satan wants to devour as many as he can. This web is going to be like glue, very hard to move. The enemy is speaking […]
