Evil is real, but it’s not ultimate.\n\nIn this message, Daniel unpacks:\n– The reality of Satan and his counterfeit kingdom\n– The enemy’s tactics: temptation, lies, and persecution\n– What it means to take every thought captive and reject false agreements\n– How to stand firm in the armor of God\n– Why Christ’s triumph at the cross guarantees our victory\n\nThis isn’t about fear—it’s about freedom. You have authority in Christ. You are protected, covered, and equipped to stand firm."}
