Spiritual Warfare Examined
Introduction:
This writing has been on my mind for quite some time. I have permission from Tim to proceed. I have been seeking Holy Spirit's guidance, but up to this point I have not received an ABC, 1-2-3 format. Only the knowing that there are those that will welcome and benefit from the knowledge that will be laid out in this book form of writing. I also realize that there are those who will not agree with some or all that I write.
I have discerned in my spirit that there are many here who have issues that they are not comfortable with discussing in an open forum. That is understandable and prudent in many cases, and because of this, I feel that this bookform will be helpful, in that, all who are interested may privately and discreetly check into it at their convenience.
The Lord has used me in the areas of deliverance. This has come after a prolonged time of intense warfare and deliverance in my own life. During this time I went through a very intense deliverance ministry program myself. Holy Spirit spoke to me, and taught me many things. He also called me to work in this area. Because of this, I have a deep desire to see the sons and daughters of God to be set free. To have health in their bodies, to have the restoration of their souls, and be able to walk in the Spirit. This call burns within me always.
Let me say here that I do not intend to write or discuss doctrine or dogma. I do not believe either to be appropriate in a group such as House of Prophets. Much of this knowledge has been gleaned from studying books and tapes by well known modern day prophets and deliverance ministers, but much of it has been taught to me by Holy Spirit through experience. I will be careful here about giving out my own opinions. I will use scripture to back up things that I share. All scripture references will be from NKJV unless otherwise noted. It will also be important here to realize that Holy Spirit is giving further revelation to His apostles and prophets as the world approaches the end of this present age. It is my belief that the things Daniel was told to seal up in Daniel 12:4 are now being revealed in a sovereign, metered way by Holy Spirit. These things are being revealed first to apostles and prophets with recognized authority, and then to many others as Holy Spirit guides and directs.
I think it is also proper and prudent here at the beginning of this subject for me to state that I believe in the trichotomy of man. That is, that mankind are made up of spirit, soul, and body as mentioned in I Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12. All my writings will reflect this viewpoint.
As always, I ask any who read these things to be sensitive to Holy Spirit. He will confirm the correctness of all things. If you feel a check in your spirit, then ask Him to either confirm or deny. God is faithful.
Blessings,
