Lifting The Sword Of The Spirit

Lifting the Sword of the Spirit: Equipping for Battle the Body of Jesus Christ is a call to arms. We are in the midst of a great spiritual war. Success demands that we lift the sword of the Spirit, God's Word. Greg and Sandi Grotewold have been married for fourteen years and live in the Twin Cities with their son, Luke.

INCLUDED ARE PRAYERS BY: Dr. Mark I. Bubeck, Dr. Neil T. Anderson, Brother Andrew, Nancy Leigh Demoss, Dr. Fred C. Dickason, Rev. Paul Estabrooks, Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, Stormie Omartian, Dr. Ray Pritchard, Dr. Marcus Warner, and others. Newly updated to include an “Introduction to Spiritual Warfare” by Dr. Marcus Warner. The Bible is clear — from the moment we draw our first breath, WE ARE AT WAR. Satan hates us and wants to destroy us — because the Lord loves us. A supernatural battle is waging all around us and if you are not a warrior, you will be a casualty. Christians must face this battle head-on by learning to put on the full armor of God every day. If we are not equipped properly, we will wonder why we live such defeated lives. Satan is alive and well and "prowling around like a lion seeking whom he can devour." We must use the weapons that God has provided for us to do battle for ourselves and for those that we love. A Warrior’s Prayerbook is a clear and concise resource designed to help you put on the full armor of God. This book is filled with doctrinally sound prayers, written by great men and women of faith, past and present, that will help you be a fearsome prayer warrior in your spiritual battle. ENDORSEMENTS A Warrior's Prayerbook will be a great help to many and a service to the Body of Christ. Many will have never seen anything like these prayers. They should not only be a help to those who use them but also a wake-up call and challenge to many who never thought of warfare and practical praying against evil. Kathryn has done a great work in compiling, organizing, presenting, and publishing this book. Good art work. Great need. Great taste. DR. C. FRED DICKASON Author and Fmr. Systematic Theology Chair – Moody Bible Institute, Chicago “The Christian life is not a playground; it is a battleground.” Warren Wiersbe We’re in a battle every day. If we take seriously Paul’s call to “Put on the whole armor of God” (Ephesians 6:11), then we know that we need to pray. But how should we pray when we go into battle? My friend Kathryn McBride has helped us hugely by compiling A Warrior’s Prayerbook for Spiritual Warfare. The first part of the book contains prayers from esteemed Christian leaders like Erwin Lutzer, Mark Bubeck, Fred Dickason, and Brother Andrew, arranged in categories such as “Affirm,” “Resist,” “Renounce,” and “Prayers for Others.” The book also includes the full text of many Scriptures on spiritual warfare along with very helpful quotes from noted Christian leaders. This is the most comprehensive guide to spiritual warfare praying that I have seen. We need a book like this so that when the enemy surrounds us, we will know how to get in contact with the Captain of our Salvation. Read it and you will be better prepared to stand strong when the devil attacks you and your family. DR. RAY PRITCHARD Speaker, Pastor, Author www.keepbelieving.com

In his groundbreaking book fifteen years ago, Gordon Dalbey identified the fact that men's souls have been torn between strength and sensitivity. Today, the situation is even worse. The politically correct crowd cries out for men to be more sensitive, to tame their masculine nature. On the opposing side, the media bombards men with "macho" images of violence and lust. Is it any wonder men are left bewildered about who they should be? In this newly revised and updated edition of Healing the Masculine Soul, Dalbey claims that there's hope for restoration, hope for healing-because Christ has come to heal us. God is calling men out to a relationship with Himself and calling them out to authentic manhood. "Our task is not to curse our manhood, but to redeem it," he writes. Gordon Dalbey's refreshing, comprehensive picture of God's design for the masculine soul dares men to be as God created them to be-not as society demands. Dalbey tackles the tough issues, including work, sexuality, marriage, and fatherhood. Book includes Study Guide.

For this book, the title has come from a combination. The sword, according to Paul, being of the Spirit, and the Word of God as it says in Ephesians 6:17. And Jesus, the Son of God, is that Word, as said in John 1:1. Jesus, by his own statement, said, “He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one ... It is enough” (Luke 22:36 and 38). Thus, the sword of Jesus Christ.
