Spiritual Warfare Resources: Book

OF NOTE – WHEN I RECOMMEND BOOKS, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT SAYING I NECESSARILY “AGREE” WITH EVERYTHING THE BOOKS SAY. I AM SIMPLY SAYING, “YOU MIGHT WISH TO REVIEW THIS, AS IT HAS SOME PROVOCATIVE THOUGHTS/POSITIONS FROM WHICH TO GATHER FURTHER INFORMATION ON ISSUES OF PARTICULAR INTEREST” (SOME OF THE RESOURCES I HAVE READ COMPLETELY, AND SOME I HAVE READ “IN PART”).

BEST TESTIMONIAL BOOK ON DELIVERENCE / FREEDOM

1) Deliver Us from Evil: A Pastor’s Reluctant Encounters with the Powers of Darkness by Don Basham (Paperback – May 1, 2005)

great, great testimony from a pastor. his journey of faith and forced introduction into spiritual warfare matters

2) “Delivered from the power of Witchcraft”, by Mayaba S. Choongo

* Tremendous in communicating the “principals” of spiritual warfare in relationship to personal demonization of believers

BEGINNINGS FOR ANYONE

1) “Victory Over the Darkness”, by Neil Anderson

God promises that we will live triumphantly. But what keeps us from really walking in the joy of the Lord? The powers of darkness attack us daily. The book shows that you can have the power to conquer them by knowing who you are in Christ.

2) “The Bondage Breaker”, by Neil Anderson

Reveals the whys and hows of spiritual warfare and exposes Satan’s battle for your mind. It shares the powerful truth that will break even the most stubborn habits or private sins.

3) “The Beginners Guide to Spiritual Warfare”, by Neil Anderson and Tim Warner

explanation of the elementary principles of spiritual warfare (recognizing the lies of the enemy and destroying them with the truths of god). especially good for those with no previous frame of reference for spiritual warfare related issues (very elementary, in the best way)

4) “The Steps to Freedom in Christ”, by Neil Anderson

36 page handbook dealing with the lies and deceptions that the enemy uses to hinder and injure our relationship with Jesus (and others), with numerous corresponding “confessions of truth” to counteract the enemies lies

FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR RESOURCES FOR HOW TO PRAY OVER THEIR CHILDREN IN REGARDS TO SPIRITUAL WARFARE

1) “Spiritual Protection for Your Children”, by Neil Anderson

* includes helpful prayers for children of various ages

2) “The Power of the Praying Parent”, by Stormie Omartian

ADDITIONALLY, TWO GREAT OPTIONS IN PARTICULAR FOR WOMEN (though both books could be read by men and women)

1) “Breaking Free” by Beth Moore

Outstanding book on freedom, spiritual warfare, strongholds, unbelief.  she has a couple of great chapters on generational sin!  also discusses how to handle being abused as a child.  not a “deliverance” book but OUTSTANDING definition of freedom, and why many christians are held captive.  this book for those with no frame of reference for deliverance…..maybe a newer christian who needs the biblical depth of the big picture.

2) “Lord, I Want to be Whole” by Stormie Omartian

consider this book if someone is in conversation about freedom in Jesus and needs specific education about a “freedom prayer time”. covers much education about how pray, how to stay free and what may jump you through sin. great examples of her own deliverance….encourages folks to find someone who is qualified to pray with them.

SUPPLEMENTARY BOOKS ON SPIRITUAL WARFARE

perspective

2) “Evicting Demonic Intruders”, by Noel and Phyl Gibson (mentors to Doris

Wagner, who wrote the book above)

* A guide on deliverence ministry and ministering freedom to oppressed
