know i am now walking by faith and am an overcomer i
know what it is like to experience the power of the holy spirit and to not be overcome by my old nature that is what
Jesus wants us all to experience rather than being a victim of the enemy.Whether we are an overcomer or not does nt effect our eternal life.brentnz
