The Belt of Truth
Dear Truth Seeker,In these last days, the Body of Christ is clearly in an all-out spiritual war with the enemies of righteousness.

Satan’s Opposition
Satan is a parasite and a counterfeiter. Thus, he and his purposes are actually defined by a proper understanding of God and His purposes.
