Rev. Roxann Spicer: Worship and Warfare

God. When it is time for spiritual warfare, we need to go directly to war and
not hesitate-pray like never before.
When we feel like change is impossible, that is when we need to to pray and
worship the most.

From generation to generation.

himself. Praise causes the
presence of God to come into our midst. Through praise our faith and trust is

Each day we must examine and ask ourselves. Are we a
