The Battle Is Ours!
“Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world” (Eph. 6:12 NIV).
For generations when Christians have engaged in spiritual warfare, most of the time they have focused on “satan” as the main opponent. However, C. Peter Wagner has gathered together a number of ministers who teach from personal experience that the “principalities and powers” are more than just satan—there is an entire hierarchy of demons in this world. Often, missionaries and ministers are finding that they have far more success in an area when they first go to war in the spirit and in prayer against the evil power that rules a certain region. C. Peter Wagner has compiled this book of many voices, speaking from Scripture and personal experience, teaching the reality of territorial spirits and the necessity of waging targeted, powerful warfare against them in order to reach the souls these evil powers have held captive for too long.
You will learn:
· There is an entire hierarchy of demons in this world, many with specific geographic territories.
· Once a territorial spirit’s power is broken, ministry in that area can be far more effective.
· How to go to war against evil spirits to break their power over the people of a region.
Christians must take to heart what the Bible teaches about spiritual warfare.

Territorials Spirits By: C. Peter Wagner Destiny Image Publishers, Inc. P. O. Box 310 “Territorial Spirits” is a comprehensive compendium of practical strategies for engaging spiritual warfare in the battle to crush territorial spirits present in the world today. The work of eighteen contributors has been compiled by C. Peter Wagner. The book is divided into three parts: • The Issues: Principles and Problems • The Ministries: Pastors and Practitioners • The Analysis: Perceptions and Perspectives The writings of highly respected, and diverse Christian leaders, pastors, professors, missionaries, anthropologists, and itinerant preachers confirm the fact that in the effort to evangelize the world involves a confrontation with principalities and powers that include Territorial Spirits. I read with special interest the analysis of anthropologist Jacob Loewen. He draws from experiences as a Bible translation consultant in South America and Africa to share his conclusions and his unique insight into Old Testament teaching as it relates to “Divine Territoriality and Specialization.” Michael Green, professor of evangelism at Regent College in Vancouver is a scholar and a practitioner. His analysis highlights the concepts of “Principalities and Powers,” specifically in: Jewish belief, in the Graeco-Roman World, and in the New Testament. Timely and relevant. This is an important book for today’s generation with the existing apathy found in many churches and rampant unrighteousness and oppression throughout the world. Scholars, pastors, missionaries, and lay Christians will welcome this study for its scholarly presentation, diligent research, and the practical hands on experience of the contributors. A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review purposes. The opinions expressed are my own. As reviewed for Midwest Book Review.
