    (003) [Simply Shielded] How the Devil Fights — and How I Finally Fought Back

    The devil doesn’t always fight loud. Sometimes, it’s through confusion, betrayal, delays, and people you thought were on your side. In this episode, I share a deeply personal testimony—our 10-year spiritual battle tied to a home we believed God had promised. From broken trust and legal battles to spiritual abuse and unexpected blessings, this is a story of warfare, obedience, and ultimately... victory. Whether you’re feeling under attack or confused about why everything keeps falling apart, this episode will help you recognize how the devil fights—and how to stand strong with faith, truth, and prayer. This is Part 2 of the Promised House Project series, where I share how God took our most painful chapter and turned it into a platform to help others. If you’re in the fire—you’re not alone. And the enemy doesn’t get the last word. God does. 🛡️ The Simply Shielded Prayer Wall is now available. Visit SimplyWaterbury.com to learn more.
