WHAT SHAPES YOUR LIFE?
PHILIPPIANS 3: 8 - 11
(PAGE 1717 COME ALIVE BIBLE)

that is in you than he that is in the world."
Satan recognizes this to be true even if we don't. He knows He
can't deal with the power imparted by Christ. His only
successful ploy is to mislead the believer. He started in the

than the fact that God is trying to preserve our good.
THREE THINGS ENABLE BELIEVERS TO ENJOY SPIRITUAL VICTORY.
