Spiritual Warfare
(Session 1)
Kim Powell
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds” 2 Corinthians 10:3-4. Spiritual warfare is the ongoing, high stakes battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. And as believers we have a position in this battle. We are not spectators. We are called to be warriors fighting from our knees. Learn to identify the battle and to unleash weapons of mass destruction against the enemy and his plans.

Perspective Matters…Getting Your Worship On
(Session 1)

Join Fuller, change your perspective, and “Get Your Worship On!”
