I find knowing both heaven and earth makes me stronger rather then weak or supplicating.LOL. I've already read the entire New Testament. There is no "strength to be gained" from reading it. It is a manual on how to be a complete doormat. "Turn the other cheek", "If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well", "blessed are the meek." Yeah, right. No thanks. Christianity has weakened and emasculated men more than any other religion.
I am thus able to peek into the minds of men when I do battle, seek peace, increase my sphere of influence, gain power etc.
The Bible gifts a man more then just a moral compass - it's ultimate gift is compassion, understanding and power.
Compassion or empathy is the ultimate weapon when projecting power or strength or when doing battle. You will know ur enemies won't you, even before the battle starts and that's the key to winning.
