Hello and welcome back! Being positive, speaking positive and living a positive life in this dark age is not easy. Every day we deal with situations that challenges our faith, our lifestyle, our friendship, our jobs and family. And instead of confessing God's word over our situation, we decide to speak negative words that's contrary to our faith and beliefs. While some of these frustrations are meant to grow us stronger, some of the problems destroy our lives. Even as Christians and believers we struggle because of our negative confessions. God has prepared all the tools and weapons at our disposal. " HIS WORD" The devil hates to see us succeed in our carriers, family, and our personal relationship with Jesus.
