Daniel 6:19-23 I John 4:4 Matthew 28:18 Matthew 16 :18-19
God is greater than our enemies.

But God was greater than them .He sent His angel and shut the mouth of the Lion so that they could not harm Daniel in any way . Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. God has given us the power to bind and loose in this world . We should use this authority to bind all the works and plans of the enemy and release the blessings and the purposes of God to be fulfilled in our lives.
