A book review was recently sent to me from a friend
who thought I might enjoy reading it. The
book was about Spiritual Warfare.
Sorry to say that the review was extremely negative. The book was also lop-sided.
The gentleman who wrote the review claimed to be
agnostic and was definitely not certain of his relationship with Jesus.
If he wonders about a God, he certainly must not
believe in Satan or in Angels, and demons (which are fallen angels.)
Yes, there is a God, angels and angelic beings, also a devil and
demons, but I also know that it is NOT spiritually healthy to dwell with your
thoughts on devils and demons.
It is
better to think on things that are lovely, pure and of good report.
As I read the review, it seemed to me that both men were
in left field and neither of them in my opinion had it all together.
This man doing the review was so angry, heated and hostile as
he attacked the minister who wrote a book.
Interesting how furious this man gets
while he delivers his book review.
I am reminded of the verse in Proverbs that says - - -
Proverbs 22:24 - 25
Do not associate with a man given to anger; Or go with a
hot-tempered man, or you will learn his ways and find a snare for yourself.
I have found that those who yell and holler to get
their point across are probably wrong.
INSTEAD, I find that if I am full of the HOLY SPIRIT,
I do not need to worry about the Un-holy kind of spirits.
I do NOT spend my time in “Spiritual Warfare” yet I do
believe it is sometimes necessary. I
believe in Intercessory prayer, and I practice praying in the Spirit. This will get the job done in most
cases. If a prayer for deliverance is
needed, then God will direct you in that also.
So what to do? - - For your spiritual health, it is
better NOT to follow those who criticize and tear down others.
Read and study the Bible for yourself and see
if these things are actually so.
Be filled with the Holy Spirit and you will Not need
to Fear Demons.

That last line says it perfectly, Hazel. Isn't it interesting that the ones that don't believe in God are the loudest proponents for "tolerance", but once the name of Christ is brought up all their intellect and self control... and "tolerance" is gone...
