Many Christians lack understanding of faith’s journey, how God’s soldiers are armored, and how to be prepared for spiritual warfare. Little knowledge in this area makes many go into battle unprepared, and they lose fight after fight. God’s soldiers are doing spiritual warfare with natural (fleshly) means, which causes them to be beaten and confused, and (as Job) they sit believing that God has forsaken them. This book is not a repeat of Storms Are Faith’s Workout: Preparing Christians for Spiritual Ambush. It will build upon the truths in that book to help strengthen God’s soldiers to go to battle dressed in the full armor of God. There are no shortcuts to overcoming in this life, and many obstacles must be faced. In the pages of this book, God’s soldiers will gain the understanding of how faith works and the necessity for God’s armor in facing whatever obstacle the devil has put in their path. When the book is finished, God’s soldiers will have confidence in God and in his armor. They will be emboldened to stand firm, confront any obstacle, and overcome it by faith!

Author R. J. Wilkowski spent nearly two decades struggling with his faith and belief system, studying a large variety of ideas, beliefs, and evidence throughout human history, both biblical and nonbiblical. He’d developed a list of questions centering on spirituality. He wanted to know why life is so hard. Who is God, really? What does God want from us? And how do we know if it’s God who is speaking? In Knowing God and Understanding the Enemy, he seeks to answer these questions while showing God is much more than just a spiritual guide to help you maneuver through life. Wilkowski describes the types of struggles people experience. He explains the different facets of the living God, how he relates to you, and the varied forms in which he works in your life. Finally, Wilkowski addresses the devil’s schemes to destroy anything that resembles Christ. He tells how Satan has been using the same tactics for millenniums to bring fear, shame, and doubt into your life. Knowing God and Understanding the Enemy discusses how to avoid Satan’s tactics and truly know and trust the love and power of the living God.

Historically, angels have been viewed as either disconnected objects of speculative investigation, or as mystifying beings mysteriously influencing our lives. However, this is not how the Bible describes them. Scripture, in sober and straightforwardterms, simply describes what angels do. It is a practical depiction, a pastoral presentation. We see messages of encouragement, revelation, and guidance; we see judgment and correction; we see strengthening; we see journeying; we see prayer and worship. The biblical focus concerning angels is on ministry to the people of God. Angels are one way that God intervenes in human affairs in response to pastoral concerns or problems. Created to minister, angels are best understood, not using speculative or detached theology, but through applied and pastoral lenses. Using only Scripture and a classic model of pastoral theology as the framework, this book shows practically how angels are employed by God to bless his church and people as his servant ministers who glorify him alone.
