Enemies Quote by Richard Stidham
“There are many who would see me fall; and each one has my face and my name. An enemy must have the power to defeat me. I am the only one who can do that. Whether by impatience or impertinence, fear or faithlessness, I am the one who must be overcome. 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' He strengthens me to overcome me!”
