“Our fear is not from an external enemy because our real enemy is inside us; everyday we risk an inner war. If we triumph in this inner war all the wars that come from outside will be weak; there will be no external enemy to fear. So we have to submit the inside to the dominion of the spirit.” Abba Youanes Bishop of Gharbiah #coptic #orthodox #prayer #submission #spirit #apostlesfast #HolySpirit
