Do Demons Afflict People Today?
Tell someone you believe demons afflict people today and you’ll likely get an eye roll. Except for a few Catholic priests and extreme elements of the Charismatic movement, most people take the idea as seriously as Santa Claus or the Easter

Can Christians be Demon Possessed?
Suppose you own a home free and clear. You’ve got the deed locked away in a safety deposit box. Over the years you’ve replaced the roof, the AC and heater, the carpet and you upgraded the kitchen and bathrooms. It’s a nice house and you’ve

Jesus and Demons and You
Growing up I believed God was real but couldn’t be known. Since that was the case, I concluded nothing mattered. At age 19 I understood, for the first time, that Jesus died in my place and was raised from the dead. That realization changed

What's a spiritual stronghold?
A spiritual stronghold is a fortress of lies built in the soul. Stone by stone, lie by lie, the fortress takes shape until it seems impregnable. Behind its walls, shame, anger, lust, greed, malice and a host of evil finds refuge. The only o

The Root of a Stronghold
A stronghold is a tree. What we see is the canopy—the angry outburst, depression, addiction, jealousy, dishonesty, impurity, and fear. What we can’t see are the roots. Because of that we spend time and energy pruning what can be seen withou

How we build strongholds
The enemy builds a stronghold in our life when we give him a foothold— a secure position from which he can and will make further progress. The word “foothold” is only used once in the New Testament. In Ephesians 4:26-27 the Apostle Paul sai

If you’ve got a character battle you keep losing over something like anger, lust, bitterness, jealousy, or depression, maybe the source of the problem is spiritual. For years I’ve helped men and women develop a strategy to rein in out-of-co

Below is a nasty list of attitudes and actions people struggle with. Most of us not only battle to break free but to keep the battle a secret. Yet, if we’re going to find freedom, we must first identify what it is we’re struggling with. So
