4 Days
When someone takes a shot at you, it’s instinct to fire back – in the line-up and in life. Jesus’ teaching to “love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you” is completely counter-cultural, but… is it also the way to gain God’s favour? Join Christian Surfers’ communications manager, Cyle Myers to discover how you can love your enemy… and the unexpected blessings that flow from that decision.
Offenses are one of Satan’s weapons to create in you arguments of destruction that fill you with hate, bitterness, and resentment, blocking you from receiving the overabundant blessings that God has already decreed for you. That's why, in this reading plan, we want to show you the weapon with which you can be free: “forgiveness.” God wants you to have a healed heart!
How can the fruit of the spirit win the battle against the sins of my flesh? This four-day reading plan shows the battles of PEACE versus worry, fear, discord, and self-trust. Kristi Krauss uses the fruit of the spirit found in Galatians 5 as a guide to spur us into action to become champions of PEACE in our daily lives.
