To enjoy spiritual power and spiritual victory, you need spiritual resources, not human prescription.

Most of us say we trust God, but we still like to keep a few backup plans in place.

Today, Dr. Evans explains why that kind of faith often leaves us stuck,

and how real deliverance begins when God becomes our only option.

Let's join him in the book of Matthew as he shows how fasting and prayer

can allow God's power to break through long-standing strongholds in our lives.

Jesus has just taken Peter, James, and John to the Mount of Transfiguration.

He was, verse 2, transfigured before them.
