Sherri,

It is unfortunate that we do not teach more on this critical topic. As a result of a lack of teaching there is a lack of awareness and our people become comfortable cohabiting with spiritual wickedness. Of course there is a responsibility that accompanies bringing awareness to your church. The responsibility is the proper equipping of the people to defeat these spirits!

I think some of the fear among is caused by a failure to understand that we have been given dominion over these spirits by the cross. All that was stolen in Eden was returned to us at Calvary and the empty tomb! We simply have to begin to walk according to the power that we have been given and take control in the spiritual realm.

For those who may think I am promoting dominion theology, please take a rest. I am a proponent of spiritual dominion not secular dominion. WE are citizens of another Kingdom not this one. One of the reasons I think folks are weak in the area of spiritual dominion is that as a result of pre-trib teaching we have been waiting for the 2nd coming of Christ to conquer our enemy and put him in chains, thus becoming like the man at the pool of Bethesda, impotent!
