Women Leaders in Ministry
The enemy is always at work in the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to ministry. Let’s take a look at some of the common pitfalls that the enemy puts in our paths. If you are in ministry and are serving in a leadership role, either staff or volunteer, you must know that the enemy is NOT happy with you. He does not want to see you be victorious and successful in your ministry. We will be looking at how to be “battle” ready at all times. Let’s seek the Lord together to find the common tactics that the enemy uses and how we can overcome them through the power of the Holy Spirit.
