Priest King When Adam and Eve where in the Garden, God gave them some jobs to do. They were to be fruitful and multiply. They were to subdue the earth. They were to have dominion over the earth.

Rangaistus oli hänen päällänsä, että meillä rauha olisi, ja hänen haavainsa…

Exactly how does a "birthday party" and spiritual warfare play themselves out? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover the Lord's marching orders for his church in waging true spiritual warfare.
