In Larry Tomczak's "Victorious Christian Living at the End of the Age," he writes that "You are the only being in the universe that can cause defeat in your life. Wholeheartedly decide, by the grace of God and the power of His Holy Spirit, to please God, and all the demons in and out of hell, all the people in the world, all your weaknesses, shortcomings, inadequacies, adverse circumstances and unfavorable surroundings CANNOT prevent you from having glorious victory! You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!"
