!! *INTRODUCTION*
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful,
and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul
and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart” (Hebrews 4:12).
The Word of God is very quick and very
powerful.
It demands our undivided attention.
We never know when we will experience supernatural
phenomena, as we have seen God work
so often.
At those times, where hearts are open,
there is not only a supernatural manifestation of
the Word but also a supernatural operation of
the Holy Spirit.
Through this kind of operation, we can become
attached to the Lord, totally delivered and
detached from satanic deceptions, seductions,
and attachments.
I am so thankful for those who
take a stand with the Word of God in their lives.
I don’t mean that we never fail.
Certainly, we all
fall and need to rebound—that’s not the issue.
The issue is to draw near.
Even though I have isolated
failures, I continue to draw near.
And as
long as I am drawing near, I will have victory if I
really want it.
This booklet will reveal how each
and every Christian can be free from the
bondage of satanic attachments—free, indeed,
through the Word.
!!! *Chapter One*
*THE PROBLEM OF EVIL*
Often, a woman who loves God with all her
heart finds herself in a relationship with someone
who is in a process of retrogression.
That person
has gone beyond backsliding and is now
deceived and in an arrogant complex.
She thinks
she will win him, but that isn’t going to happen.
My suggestion for dealing with that kind of
relationship is: don’t get involved in the first
place!
But if you are married and in this kind of
relationship, stay in it.
And, while you honor
your partner as much as you can, remember that
the other side of it is tough love.
In any case, people who are in the process of
retrogression are infected with evil.
Because of
the insidious nature of infections, it is vital that
we understand the problem of evil to be able to
guard ourselves.
I will list several points as premises for this
discussion on the problem of evil:
First, the Lord Jesus Christ never paid for
Satan’s sins.
Next, the Lord never paid for the sins of the
demonic kingdom.
