..my battle stance..

  "The land we walked through and scouted out is a very good land—very good indeed. If God is pleased with us , he will lead us into that land, a land that flows, as they say, with milk and honey.

Don’t be afraid of them!” - Numbers 14     This passage has been the vision for the year for some of us. Or for .. ehem.. certain church. Greatly blessed by the sermon. just like last year's one.
