WHY We’re Attacked.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. We are constantly under spiritual attack. Our churches are under spiritual attack. Satan is going about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. But why? Why is the Church under attack?

My Prayers for 2012.
