Summary:

The battle of faith is against sense-knowledge truth or reasoning. Sense-knowledge truth is fact, but the Word of God is truth that
changes the facts. You are empowered to fail, or prosper depending on
which truth you accept. If you’re not standing on the truth of God’s
Word, you’re standing on sense-knowledge truth.
