Life and Freedom through the Spirit
As Christians, we often struggle to live spiritually powerful lives. But when we walk in step with the Holy Spirit, he manifests his power through us. His presence gives us victory over the lies of the enemy, stirs us to sacrificial love for others, and ignites in us the boldness to do the work he has called us to.
