Spiritual Warfare: Fighting Blind Can Be Fatal

By Don Ibbitson

Spiritual WarfareThe topic of spiritual warfare is ignored or minimally addressed in most churches. When it is mentioned, the context is typically muddy, the practical advice is minimal and people are left with little help on when, where and how to do this warfare. How can you fight an enemy you cannot see?

Part of a Christian’s walk is to walk by faith and not by sight. We are to live life from the inside out, to not conform to the ways of the world and be transformed by the renewing of the mind. When it comes to “seeing” things in the spirit realm, many people are confused because they have not been taught well in the church. [Read more…]

Getting Married? Learn Your Partner’s Temperament First

By Don Ibbitson

Learn your partners temperamentWhat are the most important points a counselor or pastor should try to get across to couples soon to be married? That question is very much open to debate and given the typical timeframes and sessions available there is not a single pat answer.

By Don Ibbitson

Ouija board teaching

Overeating: Gluttony Or Being Seduced?

By Phyllis Tarbox

gluttonyAs a Deliverance counselor I have been asked by overweight clients to cast out the spirit of gluttony that they thought was causing them to overeat.  However, what we have found is that gluttony is not always the common culprit. It seems that what is lurking behind overeating can be the provoking spirit of seduction!  [Read more…]

Occultic Sin: An Open Door For Demonic Torment

By Don Ibbitson

 

Occult sin open door for demonic tormentOccultic activity is by definition messing with the demonic realm? We should not be surprised that demons invited in are not quick to leave!

Dictionary.com defines occultic (adj.) as “of or pertaining to magic, astrology, or any system claiming use or knowledge of secret or supernatural powers or agencies.” The use of secret or supernatural powers is expressly forbidden in the bible (Lev 19:26, Deut. 18:10, 2 Kings 17:17 and more) and when people get involved in those activities, even unwittingly, bad things can happen.
