2Cor. 12:9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. When I first truly surrendered my life to Christ I was 23 years old suffering

Without the water of the Holy Spirit filling us, our souls quickly become a parched wilderness, and there will be no victories in the battles that we face.
