Satan has a malevolent plan for every
human soul on earth. Scripture names him “Apollyon,” the one who ruins people’s
lives by corrupting their souls. His works often manifest themselves as
fetishes, phobias, hang-ups or addictions; but Jesus came to “destroy the works
of the devil.”
We are
coming into a time when all we will have to stand on is the testimony we have
allowed God to forge within us. Do we have a track record of partial
obedience—picking and choosing when we will obey the Lord? Then we will most
certainly deny Him when the pressure to do so is overwhelming.
In this
book, Steve Gallagher presents eight stories of people who have overcome the
devil, have been delivered from his strongholds and now have a testimony of God’s
redeeming power. These stories will encourage you in your own struggles with
the enemy:
- A musician who escaped the ghetto but
couldn’t escape his demons
- An ex-gay activist who returned to the
lifestyle he railed against
- A big city cop who now fights his
battles on his knees
- A Fortune 500 executive who had it all
and lost it all
- A cat burglar who faced life in prison
but received God’s reprieve
- A heroin-dealing gangster whose
downfall led to his greatest score
- An Amish homosexual whose sin was
exposed and destroyed
- A couple who faced martyrdom from of a
Colombian drug cartel
Their
lives challenge us all: Are you prepared for that day when all you have is the
blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony?
