At War: Engaging the Enemy with Spiritual Weapons - Hardback

At War

God continues His extraordinary outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our day. Still, the devil and his demonic forces respond with their outpouring of lies, deceit, murder, and destruction. According to Scripture, this adversary will stop at nothing to destroy those who believe in Jesus. We, as Christians, cannot combat the powers of darkness in the strength of our human resources and expect to succeed. Nor can we escape the battle by denying the reality of spiritual warfare.

The devil lurks in the background when you experience anxiety, confusion, discouragement, rejection, guilt, apathy, or lacking hope. Perhaps doubts have crept in regarding your standing before God. Difficulties have unexpectedly flared up in your marriage and family, or you have become frustrated and discouraged because of a powerless walk. These feelings and troubles are often the results of manipulation by the devil through lying, deception, trickery, double-dealings, and a host of temptations.

In 1978 my wife, Trisha, and I planted a church in the heart of Silicon Valley. God answered our prayers and gave us a multi-ethnic church. As we practiced the principles taught in this book, we watched hundreds of men and women being delivered from the power of darkness and becoming ardent followers of Jesus. This is the story of God and our forty-year journey standing against and defeating the powers of darkness. Fellow Christians, you may object to this spiritual warfare and even refuse to fight, but that won't stop your adversary from waging war against you.

It's your decision, win or lose!
