Scripture speaks plainly of an enemy, and just as plainly of a victory that is not ours to win but Christ’s to give. This Path is not about fighting harder. It is about learning where to stand, what to wear, and which Word to answer with — filed as Authority, Deliverance, Victory, Resistance, Armor, the Word, the Mind, Protection, the Name, and Prayer.

This Path is part of the house. One year opens it, with every other Path.

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.
