Synopsis "Adventures in Spiritual Warfare (in English)"
Even though they lack the words to describe it, most people know that spiritual warfare is real. This book pulls back the curtains and gives the reader a front row seat to the most exciting show of our time. Each chapter pairs riveting personal stories with solid biblical teaching to give the reader practical guidelines for defeating Satan and living a victorious Christian life. Perhaps you feel like Peter felt when Jesus commanded him to leave the safety of his boat and step upon the tempestuous sea. Because he trusted Jesus, he obeyed him. Later, Jesus told the disciples that they would do greater things. This book will help you find the courage to step out of your comfort zone and walk into the world of power ministry. Thankfully, a series of profound encounters with evil supernaturalism forced me to overcome my internal resistance to spiritual warfare. After I learned how to flow with the Spirit, defeat the enemy, and set the captives free, my life has never been the same. Are you ready to join the battle? ""Is spiritual warfare necessary? Do demons really exist? It is often said, 'The man with an experience is never at the mercy of the man with an argument.' Payne draws from his extensive research and rich personal experience as a missionary to illustrate the reality of demonic attacks and the need for scripturally informed spiritual warfare. Adventures in Spiritual Warfare is biblical, informative, and practical."" --Peter J. Bellini, Associate Professor of Evangelization in the Heisel Chair, United Theological Seminary ""Adventures in Spiritual Warfare is a unique contribution to the topic of evil supernaturalism. It astutely challenges the reader to reconsider what they understand about worldview, the spiritual realm, the authority of the believer, and the power of Christ as each relates to spiritual warfare. Dr. Payne integrates biblical evidence and living encounters with the forces of darkness in order to equip the reader for life-changing encounters with the Holy Spirit who, in Jesus' name, still sets captives free. A needed resource!"" --Terry Wardle, Professor Emeritus at Ashland Theological Seminary ""Professor William Payne is one of the few spiritual warfare practitioners who has produced such a unique handbook. Absolutely, the issue of spiritual warfare is not an academic subject that you can study from a distance and live victoriously. However, a copy of this book will help you."" --Rev.
