Invisible Enemies: How to Recognize and Defeat Demons

by Jim Croft, Dick Leggatt (Foreword by)

Overview

In the last 40 years, there has been a resurgence of New Testament deliverance ministry. On the forefront of this movement is Jim Croft, pastor, teacher, and deliverance minister. In Invisible Enemies, Croft takes readers on a journey into the heart of deliverance ministry, including topics such as

the reality of the demonic realm
the different types of evil spirits
how demons enter and display their presence
why it's not unusual for Christians to need ministry
how to minister deliverance

Full of personal testimonies from Croft, his family, and others who have been delivered, Invisible Enemies also exposes and counters some of the more aberrant methodologies that have become the norm. Even better, Croft shows believers how to free themselves and others from demonic powers and how they can maintain that freedom.
