About Giving Place to the Enemy

This guide is for those struggling with chronic sins, and addictions. We must all understand the subtle deceptions used by the enemy. They work to get us to follow our own mind, emotions, and desires. When we follow them, we make them our gods. Only our Lord Jesus Christ can deliver us from following the subtle stirrings and lies of the enemy. The power of sin always stirs us through lies, deceptions, and subtle suggestions. Sin always works to get us to give in to its sway. When we do, we give the enemy power over us. There will always be spiritual warfare until our Lord places all His enemies under His feet. Until then, we must learn to give Him every battle in every temptation. The Abiding Presence of His Spirit within us gives us the ability to resist. But the war never ends until Our Lord Jesus comes back. To live in unbroken fellowship with God, we must learn to live by His unbroken Word. This is trusting in Him alone. God Bless.

Giving Place to the Enemy

Spiritual Oppression and Possession

By Randy Lawrence Stinson

Preface

THIS BOOK CAME ABOUT from direct experience with unclean spirits. I had given place to the enemy in my early years as a Christian. I decided that others needed to have a better understanding of why we stumble in our Christian walk. Many refuse to believe that Christians can experience demonic possession. But the fact remains, our Lord Jesus stated that this would happen. We were also warned by Paul.

This guide is for those struggling with chronic sins, and addictions. We must all understand the subtle deceptions used by the enemy. They work to get us to follow our own mind, emotions, and desires. When we follow them, we make them our gods. Only our Lord Jesus Christ can deliver us from following the subtle stirrings and lies of the enemy. The power of sin always stirs us through lies, deceptions, and subtle suggestions. Sin always works to get us to give in to its sway. When we do, we give the enemy power over us. There will always be spiritual warfare until our Lord places all His enemies under His feet.

The Abiding Presence of His Spirit within us gives us the ability to resist temptations. The war never ends until Our Lord Jesus comes back. To live in unbroken fellowship with God, we must learn to live by His unbroken Word. This is trusting in Him alone. God Bless.

THE AGE OF MAN

When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself,
