We have lost sight in the Church of what the apostles saw so clearly. This loss has resulted in an advantage given that would not be if 'spiritual warfare' was seen in light of the devil's designs fostered through 'relational' breakdown. To quote the apostle Paul: "in order that no advantage be taken of us by satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes" (2 Cor. 2:11 N.A.S.B.). It was largely this text that the Lord has used to move this author to reflection and recording what has been his own 'relational' experience. It was Jonathan Edwards who said to the effect that true Theology ought to be proven in the arena of life's experience. This little book, although initally intended for the equipping of the congregation by means of regular devotional meditations, is written with a view to passing on what Scripture says and experiential exegesis has found to be true concerning the wiles of the devil.

SATAN'S SCHEMES: A PERSONAL JOURNEY FROM NEW AGE TO A DAUGHTER OF CHRIST This book will transform the way you think of New Age Religion. It teaches you the hidden secrets deep within false practices, as well as how Jesus can be your true Savior. Satan’s Schemes: A Personal Journey From New Age to a Daughter of Christ shows the intrepid story of author Cynthia J. Ashton, as she found Jesus as a born-again Christian after following New Age practices for over 25 years. It discusses the following topics and much more: - The dangers of a rising New Age Religion - Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters - The Three Cs of New Age - How Satan’s deceptions lie within TV, Books, and Music - The Issues with Reiki, Energy Healing, and Acupuncture - Spiritual Warfare - The Armor of God The main purpose of this book is to show how easy it is to fall for Satan’s tricks.

You must also know what practices to avoid, and that’s what Ashton teaches.

Evangelical-Friendly Approach to Spiritual Warfare Respected scholar and speaker Larry Richards offers a balanced, evangelical-friendly approach to spiritual warfare based on the book of Ephesians. Unique among books on warfare and deliverance, this easy-to-follow handbook draws riches from the Bible, while also offering tactical guidance for conquering the demons of fear and doubt that assail believers. Framing his teaching on Paul's armor of God passage in Ephesians 6, Richards uncovers strategies of Satan and analyzes the armor piece by piece to reveal how God provides protection from every attack of the enemy. Hands-on exercises at the end of each section, plus in-depth, analytical appendixes, help readers identify and stand against powers of evil--and experience true freedom.

Some Christians believe strongly in the existence of demons and spiritual warfare. Others downplay or even ignore the idea. With such divergent views, how are Christians supposed to know the truth about demonic forces at work in this world? The Invisible War examines what every believer needs to know about Satan, demons, and spiritual warfare, offering a balanced look at this controversial subject. This provocative book will help Christians understand what the Bible says about these threats and will show them how they can safeguard themselves and their families through prayer. Now repackaged for a new generation, The Invisible War offers a balanced look at what is going on in the spiritual realm and what believers can do to defend themselves.

..".so that Satan might not outwit us, for we are not ignorant of his devices." [2 Corinthians 2:11] The above scripture is well known among most Christians, yet its meaning escapes many within the body of Christ. It has been my observation that in the new millennium, Satan and his minions are indeed outwitting us as most Christians appear to be clueless about Satan's schemes, tricks, and devices. Satan's schemes are designed to lead us into sin and keep us mired there. Moreover, in utilizing his tricks, his intentions are to render us ineffective in our own faith walk as well as in leading others to Christ. In this era of special effects and technological advances, Christians may expect Satan's existence or appearance to be a dramatic one, similar to what they have seen in Hollywood films. Some incorrectly perceive Satan or the devil to be in human form wearing a red suit, having horns atop his head, and holding a pitchfork. Others imagine Satan as a yellow-eyed, winged creature with talons as portrayed in end-time prophecy novels. But instead of appearing in a vivid, conspicuous way, the devil manifests inconspicuously and subtly through evil forces and spiritual wickedness, especially in high places. This book describes twenty-one of Satan's schemes, tricks, and devices; however, this list is not, by any means, all-inclusive. The schemes that are listed are ones I identified following months of intense Bible study. Before we explore these schemes, however, a thorough understanding of Satan and his characteristics is required first.
