If you follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, He will lead you to pray all kinds of prayers—not just one specific type. This is why those who, in the Body of Christ today, overemphasize the “militant” aspect of prayer cannot pray “with all kinds of prayers and supplications in the Spirit.” They claim that […]
Some people speak of the Church as being in battle. Among them are those who believe we must fight demons in order to achieve success.As for me, I prefer to speak of the triumphant Church because it is scriptural. Jesus’ triumph over Satan is the triumph of every believer who can benefit from that victory […]
In this vision, Jesus explained to me that it is not necessary to operate in the gift of discerning of spirits to deal with a demon when it is tormenting, intimidating, or discouraging a member of the Body of Christ. In such situations, we have the authority to command it to stop its maneuvers against […]
As you can see, there is a world of difference between oppression, obsession, and possession. For twenty years, this woman had served in ministry alongside her husband. She was not a baby Christian. At first, she was oppressed and obsessed, but when, as a mature Christian, she willfully and deliberately denied Christ, she became possessed […]
We have just seen how an evil spirit can oppress the body or mind of a person, whether they are saved or not. It is also possible for a Christian to give place to an evil spirit when under oppression. The Scriptures show that an individual can surrender to God and later turn around and […]
According to ancient and unreliable traditions, including the writings of Eusebius and Alexander Hislop in The Two Babylons, Semiramis, the mother of Nimrod—often depicted as a woman holding a child—is said to be the origin of every past or present organization that proudly seeks to make a name for itself, saying, “let us make a […]
We need to go beyond the outward appearance presented by this pagan cult and dig deeper. What we see on the surface is merely the tip of a deeper and broader iceberg. In reality, the angels who were bound and imprisoned in the darkness, along with the spirits of the giants, have become adversaries of […]
The book of Psalms 24:7–10 shows us how difficult it is to access and open a gate. The gate is often guarded to protect it from those who are unworthy—that is, those who have no right to access it. In Egyptian mythology, sphinxes guarded the entrances to temples. In Greek mythology, Cerberus is a three-headed […]
As we mentioned earlier, blood is the soul, and the voice of the soul can also be heard in the spiritual realm through meditation and prayer. The Bible emphasizes that the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is Himself a gate, is as powerful as that of a great multitude or the sound of […]
“Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” — Colossians 4:5–6 Some time ago, I found myself stuck in a small Inuit (Eskimo) community in the Canadian Arctic, where the temperature […]
