Gearing up for Battle (2 of 5)
Series: Ready to Rumble

Ephesians 6

He's given us what it takes to hold our ground and to stand and defeat the devil. The Bible says, ''Re, sist the devil and he will flee from you.'' And God has given you the armor to withstand his onslaughts and to stand up to his schemes and to not lose any ground in y ...
