Its the battle against sin, the most difficult war. Why? Because its so subtle. Manytimes not aware of the enemy, sometimes not far away, sometimes the enemy is yourself, inside you. Battle between us..our good self v bad self...experience frusytration..st. paul..'Lord what is going on ? That which I want to do, I don't do. What I don't want to do, I do. " This is the battle..mmy dear friends..big battle ahead..confirmation will prepare uou...depending on your personal response...can onlu win if you follow Jesus..to die to selfishness,,pride, bad habits...cross is a symbol..victory over death..we will win by being diligent like LJC...you win with...struggle..remember the enemy is smarter than you...knows better..the devil will attack your weakness..if money, if pride., if sex...devil will offer opps for...so KNOW THYSELF...knowledge is power...knowledge..Jesus is the winner..gave self to others so thaat others may live & give life...knowing self..don't be afraid..know the tactics of the devils..like boxers watch previous fights of the opponents..study the devil & previous games..big task..our team is prepared to equip you..we have sacrments..teachers, most of all JESUS..."
