INSIGHT

Root Cause Is Often Unseen

  • The real enemy is often invisible, working behind people to produce conflict and injustice.
  • Fighting visible people or symptoms misses the root cause and leads to frustration.
ADVICE

Use Spiritual Weapons First

  • Use spiritual weapons like prayer, the name of Jesus, and Scripture rather than only natural reactions.
  • Resist the enemy by declaring God's promises and commanding assignments to be canceled in Jesus' name.
ANECDOTE

Kneecap Injury Sparked Daily Declarations

  • At 14 Joel broke his kneecap and his parents had been praying prophetic promises over him since conception.
