Have you ever suspected that dark forces may be interfering in your life? I have too. Is spiritual warfare a topic we find in the Bible? Yes, it started in Eden and we can expect it if we are active for God. Such thoughts may be unusual in a Western worldview, but an animist would agree. Can humans have authority over spiritual forces? Yes, on the basis of the supremacy of God the Creator, and the victory at the cross of Christ.
But if that is so, why do so few of us exercise the authority delegated to us? How can we prepare for victory? How can we know the enemy: the world, the flesh, and the devil? Discernment is essential. What defensive armour and offensive weapons are available to us? Intercession is the central core of spiritual war, and here are my experiences and those of thirty of my colleagues, as we are actively making disciples.
We tell stories of how truth makes an impact after a power clash with darkness. We have discovered that demonization is real and deliverance is possible in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those of us who have evicted demons share our experiences. Up for discussion: Can a Christian be demonized? Can a Christian repent for someone else? All these questions are tackled from an evangelical viewpoint, with every point checked against scripture.
A list of definitions is added, and a list of scripture chapters used.

Biographie de John Bardsley

At age 19 I discovered God is real, and asked him to run my life. It is so good! I want people to know! I taught a year at Batu Bible Institute in Java, and currently I'm teaching one month per year at Indonesia Cross-Cultural Institute. I love Indonesia. I have edited three magazines, told lots of stories, and joined the research staff for the amazing book 'Operation World'. Check out the OW website!I promised God an hour a week to pray for a demon-fearing tribe in West Africa, if God would teach me to pray.
That straightened out my life some more. Others joined in, and the church out there finally began to grow. My boss asked me to write what I had been learning, and 'He Gives Us Authority' is the result! I have been invited to 30 countries to talk about Jesus, and how to pray when the devil seems to be winning. Unsolicited praise for 'He Gives Us Authority'Shord D, Lecturer, Worldview Centre for Intercultural StudiesThe book is great.
The students each presented a 30 min tutorial on a section of it, and they were unanimous as to the value of the book and of that experience for them. As well the students need to write a term paper on their 'spiritual resources'. I expect that it will be cited by every student in the class. Geoff C, PastorYour book is an excellent and advanced insight into spiritual warfare. Having read widely on this area for many decades, I think yours is a unique and practical and mature missional contribution.
Joseph B, NZ Candidate Director , WEC InternationalWe had Dr David Cashin, lecturer at Columbia International University, to speak to our candidates on the subject of Spiritual Warfare. As a thank you, we gave him the book 'He Gives us Authority'. I have heard that he was suitably impressed by it and has in fact made it his text book for the Spiritual Warfare course he teaches at CIU. Jackie R, Director, WEC UK (retired)When I started the book I was thinking 'This will be a good tool for helping others.' and that is true, but I have also found some bits were a challenge to me too! I like the format, and all the different illustrations bring it to life.
Joy S, AuthorIt is magnificent. I have taken quite a while to work through it as there is so much to absorb and I shall read it again (and again and again!). It has made me feel a complete novice in the Christian life but I have learned a lot and want so much to be alert to the spiritual...
