God's mighty promises to us who abide in Christ have been mostly unfulfilled because of strongholds in our hearts. In this book we see that God created stability for the spiritual heart by making it very fearful of being changed. It naturally and unconsciously protects itself against perceived dangers - including God's work in the heart until it really learns that it can trust Him. It also deceives oneself. This has let the devil manipulate us out of most of our boundless power of staying in Christ. Here we see how experiences and demons can create highly protected strongholds that work against people receiving God's great love and power in Jesus. We also see how to destroy a stronghold in oneself and in others who want to be free. Destroying it includes a good preparation and good follow-up to Jesus' work of deliverance: all help the freedom to last. Therefore this book shows the nature of spiritual warfare, which comes with moving into God's mighty provisions for us in Christ.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran in prayer, this book will meet you where you are and encourage you to move to a new level in your prayer life. The book includes a new foreword from Dr. Floyd, the long-standing pastor of Cross Church in Northwest Arkansas and the new president for the National Day of Prayer.

Biblically, the heart is the source of a person's behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, attitudes, desires, motives, and values. The heart is so important to who we are: our inner nature that is given a new body for our eternity in Jesus. God made the heart naturally stable by making it greatly fear getting changed. This is good, but also causes the heart to be very self-deceptive. If it needs to be cleaned, how can we proceed? This book shows the Biblical picture of the heart more fully, so that we can see ways for believers in Jesus to work with Him to clean our deceiving hearts for our eternity and for our close life-giving fellowship with God on earth. I gave two related books the same cover, so that readers can choose the best fit. Purifying the Heart puts solutions of heart-problems with their discussion: this complicates the picture of the heart. Destroying Spiritual Strongholds more fully explains this picture from the Bible, which is a harder introduction to this picture.

A comprehensive, theological guide to everything the Bible has to say about spiritual warfare. Many Christians today are unaware or skeptical of the reality of Satan and the role he and his demonic hordes seek to exert on our lives. But if we're to take Scripture seriously, we can't overlook the biblical assertions about the spiritual battles between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil. The truth is that believers in Jesus are certain to encounter men and women of all ages who are oppressed, tormented, and tempted by demonic powers. In Understanding Spiritual Warfare, theologian and professor Sam Storms confronts the reality of the spiritual conflict in our midst, the threat of the demonic, and how we, as Christians, can respond to such a threat in our own lives and in the lives of others. Storms explains the biblical teaching on spiritual warfare and shares numerous personal accounts of victories over the demonic, answering question like: Who is Satan and his demons, and how do they act? Can a Christian be demonized? How does the authority of Christ defeat the devil and the demonic? What is “warfare prayer” and how can we wield it? Perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual warfare, Understanding Spiritual Warfare also serves as a training manual for a ministry of deliverance and inner healing.

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 2Cor.10:3-4 Today, the church has neglected to teach about the spiritual realm, for fear of being judged archaic. It has denied a key Scriptural truth: that the whole world is under the control of Satan. The church has forgotten that angels were created to serve Gods people. It has also rejected the authority Christians have as ambassadors of Christ. Finally, the church has sacrificed its power to impact the world in order to gain credibility with the world. People have chosen the religion of science. Consequently, if science and Scripture disagree, even people within the church believe science to be the truth. There are three main pillars in science: observable, repeatable, and irrefutable. Any scientific fact must fulfill these pillars to be presumed true. Since the spiritual realm is invisible and not observable, science deems that this realm does not exist. When the spiritual realm manifests itself in an event, science excuses the anomaly to be something they have yet to understand. The Scriptures teach that Christians have overcome sin, Satan, and the world. Through the Holy Spirit, we can discern both the spiritual realms presence and its activities. We are not called to be demon-slayers, but we are called to engage the enemy in order to bring freedom and wholeness to people. The Bible teaches that a war exists between Satans kingdom and Gods kingdom. Every war has Rules of Engagement. The purpose of this book is to identify the spiritual realm, recognize its methods of operation, and ultimately learn the rules that enable us to effectively engage our enemy Satan.

This is a book that God has laid on my heart for some time now. I believe that both men and women have first hand dealt with a spirit call Jezebel. I'm talking about more than just a distant spirit in the Church but actually married to this fowl spirit. This is a true story of my personal life. I really was married to a woman with a Jezebel spirit. I will tell you the story but will omit the names of people because we don't deal with flesh and blood but Principalities and Powers of wickedness in high places. I will start out this book with a chapter that gives some scriptural basis on the spirit of Jezebel and characteristics of this spirit. Then I will write the story referring too many if not all of the characteristics of the Jezebel spirit. I know some people will really get stirred and lash out at me but until you walk a mile in my shoes who are you to judge. This book will be controversial and if you know me at all I thrive in controversy. It has been about eighteen months since I left Jezebel. I am not writing this to vent or to put a person down. This book is to be a help to somebody if you have someone close to you consumed by a spirit you may need to cut it off to survive.

Hatred and badluck are twin spiritual problems confronting many people around the world today. While the former is a state of being hated, despised, neglected, and marginalized. The latter refers to a state of being unfortunate, i.e., being an embodiment of setbacks, misfortunes, and tragic occurrences. The spirit of hatred and badluck is real. It is one stubborn spirit that renders the lives of its victims desolate, empty, lonely, isolated, segregated, and ostracized. It projects failure, lack, poverty, wretchedness, dejection, misery, and anguish into the lives of its victims. In view of this, the book "DESTROYING EVIL MARKS OF HATRED & BADLUCK" has been written. The book has been published to help victims of hatred, rejection, and badluck overcome the scourge through rigorous prayers, fasting, and godly use of God-given plants. God did not just create natural plants for food but also for the spiritual healing and deliverance of mankind (Revelation 22:2). If you have prayed, fasted, and carried out all forms of spiritual exercises, with no visible result or changes in your situation, then you might need this book more than anyone else. Getting a copy of this book might be the solution you have long been waiting for. Consequently, everyone suffering under the demonic oppression of hatred, rejection, and ill-luck will indisputably find this book a useful self-help spiritual guide which brings one out of satanic captivity into complete freedom and absolute rest.
