Mark Bubeck asserts that spiritual warfare requires careful preparation, biblical obedience, and persistent prayer.The Adversary prowls, but he's already been beaten...An essential follow-up to the bestselling The Adversary, Bubeck helps Christians grasp prayer practices that enable a victorious walk. Building on the practical instruction of The Adversary, this book shares examples of demonic activity and carries you through the perils and challenges of spiritual warfare.
