People who are in trouble must discern the source of the
problem. A correct assessment of the problem's origins is the first
step toward responding well and resolving the situation. Is the
issue explainable by natural causes? If not, it is likely that the
believer is under spiritual attack.
The Believer's Guide to Spiritual Warfare is a practical
guide to overcoming the forces of the world, the flesh, and the
devil that come against believers' personal lives, families,
vocations, and ministries. The Holy Spirit is ready and willing to
free Christians from spiritual attack, and this essential handbook
will help readers access that power. They will learn to discern the
source of an attack, free themselves and others from spiritual
bondage, and pray effectively to protect their homes, businesses,
churches, and ministries from the forces of evil. The Believer's
Guide to Spiritual Warfare goes beyond theory to equip
believers with simple, effective tools and techniques for winning
victory.
