T. Scott Daniels, pastor of a Los Angeles megachurch, contends that corporate bodies like churches form an individual spiritual personality of sorts. Cultural influences can impact the collective spirit or attitude of a congregation, either hindering it from becoming all God intends it to be or setting it free to glorify God. In this practical work, Daniels examines the nature of the seven representative "angels" of the churches addressed in Revelation to show how congregations can escape the principalities and powers that hold them captive. The book encourages working pastors, church leaders, and ministry students to consider a systems approach to church leadership--one that takes seriously the powers at work within local congregations--and offers suggestions for transformation.

You're on your guard for the Jezebel spirit. But did you know that it doesn't work alone? Just as the holy Trinity works together to deliver, redeem and then guide us day by day, an unholy trinity is doing everything possible to put us in bondage, strip us of our God-given identity and derail our Kingdom purpose.

Veteran spiritual warrior Jennifer LeClaire pulls back the curtain on the calculated and systematic strategies of the enemy while offering practical biblical tactics to combat this deadly trio. Her Spirit-anointed discernment will help you understand the hidden schemes of these spirits and, with God's help, to resist them. Here is the plan of attack that will allow you to take back your Kingdom purpose, claim freedom from Satan's deadly trio and live in victory. "Few people connect the dots between these three with the insight Jennifer LeClaire offers in this book. She equips mature believers to combat and overcome darkness through the power of God."--Marcus Yoars, former editor, Charisma magazine "Jennifer clearly exposes the root of pride, self-righteousness and legalism that desires to manipulate and control.
