Learn about the seven spiritual doorways in which humans inadvertently or purposefully access the spiritual realm. Spiritism is at an all-time high, and so is demonic oppression! Many people think it is wise and good, even fun, to access the spiritual realm, but just as there are good spirits in the spiritual realm, many evil spirits would like nothing more than to wreak havoc on your life. The doorways of pride, rebellion, bitterness, lust, anger, occult practices, and transference negatively impact our lives. We experience chaos, bad decision-making, depression, confusion, suicidal ideology, feelings of hopelessness, despair, and anxiety...all signs of demonic oppression. But there is a way to restore the life you once had.Learning to close the spiritual doorways can free you from spiritual oppression and return your life to one of positivity, love, freedom, and a new sense of joy and purpose. God's will for your life will begin to make sense, and your ability to make wise decisions will come more naturally as you seek Him. You can reach up and access the spiritual world from a new perspective through the work of Christ on the cross. Jesus Christ has done all that is needed for us to access the spiritual realm positively and constructively.

"Does God really speak to us?""What is the Holy Spirit trying to say to me?""Should I be afraid of the Holy Spirit?"Many people have the wrong definition of success, one based on the world's measurements, such as piles of money, pleasure, fame, power, beauty, possessions, and the like. But Jesus tells us the secret to a successful life-filling our lives with strong, loving relationships (Matt. 22:37-39).In The Keys to Grapeness, Dr. Gil Stieglitz helps Christians understand how to develop great relationship by allowing the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you.

This is a valuable book about the Holy Spirit and how He works in our lives. A Spirit-led life is one where you hear the whispers of God as He speaks to us about our lives. The Holy Spirit partners with you by telling you what to say, what to do, when to do it, along with the ability to say and do those things that are not in your nature. Learn what God is asking from you when He tells you to "be loving" or "practice joy" or "be peaceful," and so on, to the people in your life. His power is real and true. Get ready to experience deeper relationships, greater success, and more joy and contentment in your life.Enhanced Feature: QR Code for Video Message from the Author!To encourage and support you on your Spirit-led walk, this book comes with an QR code video feature with encouragement and support for each chapter.

A new family decides to visit your church. Now what? Is your church prepared to do what it takes to integrate them as healthy, growing members of your church? This book provides a systematic approach to answering the questions, "How can I keep more visitors coming to my church?" and "Why aren't we able to hang on to them once they come?" Most church leaders struggle with this issue of keeping visitors. Visitors assume the church will connect them to others and God, and the church assumes that the visitors will do what it takes to connect until they become a part of the church. In this day and age, this isn't a reliable strategy, especially for non-Christians, as the church is not yet the driving force of their lives. Churches must think through the steps of welcoming and assimilating visitors into the church to maximize its potential for Christ. Dr. Gil Stieglitz introduces this practical, workable assimilation system to help churches work through a visitor assimilation process. This process really does work. Churches implementing the ideas in Keeping Visitors report significant jumps in their visitor retention rates, one even as high as 93%! The process is not personality-driven but instead reaches out with the love of Christ and welcomes people into a community of faith.

Do you wonder about the afterlife? Is there a Heaven? What about Hell?Many who believe in an afterlife believe there is a good and bad afterlife. Increasingly, the idea of a bad afterlife has grown unpopular and counter-cultural. But the reality is that God created a real, physical place called Hell, and many are headed to go there. Before going into depth about any form of a good afterlife, called Heaven, it is important to understand the bad afterlife, Hell. How does one get there? What is it like? Why does God have Hell, and can we avoid it? For centuries, those who believe in God have understood the reality and reasons for Hell. Doing so motivates them to live for God, to talk to their friends, to teach their kids, and to worship God. Unfortunately, many believers today do not understand Hell or believe it is real, so they shy away from talking about it. But once you understand hell, you'll want to tell everyone you know how to avoid it. It's that bad.Who this book is for:Anyone who disbelieves in the existence of Hell.Anyone who wants to know more about the purpose of hell and why God created it.Christians who want to help loved ones understand Hell and how to avoid going there.This book is part of the spiritual warfare series, including Why There Has to Be a Hell, The Scheme of Satan, Breaking Satanic Bondage, Secrets of God's Armor, The Gift of Seeing Angels and Demons (by Susan Merrit), Mission Possible: Winning the Battle over Temptation, Closing Spiritual Doorways, Delighting in God, Delighting in Jesus.

Satan is alive and well and living on planet Earth...Do you believe it? Every day, Satan strategizes how to destroy people's lives through tests and temptations. One way he does this is to get people to choose to sin and to want his malevolent influence in their lives. They seek selfishness and self-rule rather than the authority of God. The more selfishness people choose, the more selfishness they can be tempted with. The devil is the master at making the wrong choices seem right. He glamorizes absolutely toxic opportunities. Before we know it, we are in bondage to him, paying the price for sins we never meant to do. As Christians, we face three enemies that want to block us from enjoying the life God has planned for us. Each one can get in the way of embracing the great life and good works that God has planned for us. In this book, we will be focusing on the devil and his schemes to rob us of God's abundant life. By learning these schemes, Christians will be able to recognize his attacks and know how to thwart him. "This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." (1 John 4:2-4, NIV)Who this book is for:Anyone who wants to learn how to live in God's abundant life despite Satan's attempts to ruin it.Anyone who disbelieves in Satan's tempting and power and wants proof.Christians who need tools and strategies to overcome the devils influence in their lives.This book is part of the spiritual warfare series, including Why There Has to Be a Hell, The Schemes of Satan, Satan and the Origin of Evil, Breaking Satanic Bondage, Secrets of God's Armor, The Gift of Seeing Angels and Demons (by Susan Merrit), Mission Possible: Winning the Battle Over Temptation, Closing Spiritual Doorways, Delighting in God, Delighting in Jesus.

A new and fresh approach to understanding the Armor of God of Ephesians 6:10-18. God does not give us theories in Scripture. He tells us how to live in a dynamic and restful way. The same is true when it comes to God's Armor, but so often, we have missed what God is really saying. We get lost in an analysis of Roman military equipment, but there is a subtle danger in associating the spiritual armor with the Roman armor too closely.Roman armor has limitations and weaknesses; therefore, we tend to limit the strength of spiritual weapons. But each of the spiritual pieces of God's armor is powerful way beyond the power of any belt, shield, sword, and the like.This book takes a different approach, examining:the truth of God's armorrecommended righteous actionsstrategies of peacean overview of God-designed riskdaring ways of escapewhispers of God's Wordspecific prayersfeedback-corrected actionsLearn how to properly use God's weaponry in the fight against Satan and his minions. It's all right in Scripture, but this book will help make more sense.This book is part of the spiritual warfare series, including Why There Has to Be a Hell, The Schemes of Satan, Satan and the Origin of Evil, Breaking Satanic Bondage, Secrets of God's Armor, The Gift of Seeing Angels and Demons (by Susan Merrit), Mission Possible: Winning the Battle Over Temptation, Closing Spiritual Doorways, Delighting in God, Delighting in Jesus.

Something is not right about our universe...On the surface, our little world seems straightforward, where doing right is rewarded, and doing wrong is punished. Every person should have a chance to live beautiful, peaceful, and safe lives. But something else is going on that seeks to destroy this simple process of life.There is a fly in the ointment...a toxic presence who attempts to thwart our plans. Someone so evil, he laughs every time someone sins or dies without God in their life. Evil has entered our world, and it is growing and personal. Satan's attacks are unpredictable, spontaneous, seemingly random, and vicious past any motive. No one is exempt. Christians, people of other faiths, or people with no faith. He delights in creating chaos, pain, rebellion, misery, death, anxiety, depression, conflict, disunity, and strife, which we see all around us these days.Satan and the Origin of Evil delves into where evil came from, who is behind it, and how to fight it. All of us are in the fight of our lives, whether we accept it or not. Knowing our enemy is the key to winning the battle and living the lives we were destined for.

Do you want to hear God speak to you? Too much of modern prayer is asking God for stuff we want.
