Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4: 7
A Wesleyan Way of Living:
“Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing!”
John Wesley
Quote of the day
“My friends, no matter who you are, or where you are, you too can defeat the Devil, with Christ in you heart. My friend, if you want power over the devil, then put on Christ. You can put on Christ, if you will.”
