1- Do you sometimes experience excessive frustration, weariness from pressures that oppose you? - Is it difficult to tell someone the truth, even when you know it will hurt their feelings? - How do you manage when what you say, think or do is unjustly criticized by others? - How do you respond to the lies that are being spoken about you? There is a war that is going on! This war is not with flesh and blood human beings, but is spiritual. How do you fight spiritual battles? We must use God's spiritual weaponry to be victorious. The Holy Spirit is our Helper. Standing Upright In An Upside-Down World is a book that will encourage you to look to God and Him alone for your sustenance and supply. It will challenge you to let go of systematic thinking and reliance on things such as government, wealth, status. Escape what renders a false sense of security. Trusting in God with all our heart mind soul and strength will give us the courage to stand for what is right regardless of race, religion, culture, economic or social status. God created you to be free! Therefore, stand in your liberty! (Galatians 5:1) Dennis James Perkins is a native of Yazoo City, Mississippi.
