The enemy will do whatever it takes to sabotage our destiny; it is our responsibility to stay the course and continue to follow the precepts of God, the heavenly Father, no matter the type of adversity that seeks to challenges us.This book will expose The Strategies of the Enemy as the plan of the enemy is to remove, change, and manipulate laws (laws of the mind, body, environment, and legislation) to bring into effect a "controlling authority;" this controlling authority does not have to consult our desires to function. Subsequently, the enemy will try to deceive us into believing that "this is who we really are" under this altered and demonic controlling authority.

We are influenced by our relationships and environment. As believers we need effective walls to keep us from being overwhelmed by our culture and the trials and tribulations of life. We need strong, guarded gates to control what we let in. Walls and Gates contain a series of devotional thoughts for evaluating the effectiveness of our personal walls and gates based on the Book of Nehemiah. It covers the rebuilding of the walls and gates of Jerusalem and Nehemiah’s actions in restoring the people spiritually. Each devotional thought contains a description of Nehemiah’s actions and their relevance today. At the conclusion of each thought is a related New Testament scripture and thought-provoking questions.
