The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Urging international bodies to act fast to force Russian troops to vacate the site, Zelensky said Russian shelling on Thursday had sparked fires in the ash pits of a nearby coal power station which led Zaporizhzhia plant to be cut off from the power grid.
