Christian prayer; Christian life & practice; Satanism & demonology

Sometime in the middle of the night I woke up, writes Mike Brakken in Powers. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move. I couldn't even move my eyes. It felt like a weight of unimaginable strength was pressing down on me and paralyzing me. I was sure I was going to die.

Even more terrifying, I felt a presence. I couldn't see anything, but I could feel palpable evil around me. I was overwhelmed and terrified, and it felt like there was nothing I could do. I don't even remember if I prayed.

For some, the term spiritual warfare conjures up images of horror movies and Hollywood demons. That is not how the Bible sees it; spiritual warfare is simply part of the Christian life. From the moment of salvation to the return of Christ, our lives are war, conflict and struggle.

Writing from a missionary's perspective, Brakken reminds us that temptation proceeds not only from our own hearts but also from the voice of a spiritual enemy. It is a war, but we don't have to go into it unprepared.

Reviews for Powers: Arming the Believer for Spiritual Battle

This is a superb work on spiritual warfare by someone on the frontlines of the battle. It is biblically and theologically faithful. It is brutally honest, and yet encouraging. I will be quick to commend it to all who are willing to get into the fight for King Jesus. Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
