Penetrating the Darkness: Discovering the Power of the Cross Against Unseen Evil

by Jack Hayford, Rebecca Hayford Bauer

Overview

Evidence that evil is flourishing faces Christians every day, leaving many feeling hopeless and helpless. What they don't realize, says esteemed pastor Jack Hayford, is the power that is theirs through the cross. Instead, they labor under the misconception that spiritual warfare occurred only during biblical times.

But it is right here, right now, says Pastor Jack. And for the first time he lays out the strategies he's learned for engaging and defeating evil—through prayer. With clarity and passion, he shows readers how to

• develop powerful devotional habits
• engage in intercession
• plead the blood of Christ
• understand the correct use of binding and loosing
• confront evil
• learn why some prayers don't succeed
• and much more

When believers embrace the cross's power, they will stand up in hope and light against the evil of this world, penetrating even the deepest places where the enemy's darkness dwells.
