40 DAYS TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE

I had a message from Pastor Rick Warren this week and he said that for the last four or five years they've used this spiritual growth approach, 40 Days of Purpose, every single year as their fall kick off.

We said that was a picture of what? A picture of the believer, the warfare that we face against Satan. And we said that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and against the spiritual wickedness in high places.
