No, the book is not about exorcising demons like in the movies. What is the missing ingredient in our lives? What do we do when the enemy takes hold and how do we find freedom? What do you do when you are attacked? How do you cultivate invincible faith? Did you know that there is a battle for your mind but that you been given effective weapons to wield? Ingram here employs military terminology such as “Code Red” and “False Intelligence.” He warns us of the dangers of harboring doubt and guilt and how these can incapacitate us.ģ) How to do battle with the enemy and win Ingram points to our personal enemy and brings to our attention our solid strategic position in Christ’s victory. This section discusses why Christians struggle and the behind-the-scene causes. It explores what putting on the full armor of God means and how we can use it effectively.Īt 189 pages the book is divided into 4 main sections: He provides personal anecdotes of attacks on his ministry in several different locations. If you’ve experienced something like I have, Ingram’s book will put it into proper perspective for you. There were other experiences which I won’t mention here. But invoking Jesus’ name immediately ended the experience. I cannot adequately describe my fear in words. I was a 200 lb plus cocky bodybuilder who could bench-press over 300 lbs. This isn’t the sort of fear one feels when confronting a possible intruder. Then one night I got out of bed to visit the bathroom and was struck with a primal fear I’d never experienced before. I never entertained the thought that these might be demonic in nature. In those years I experienced psychic manifestations which I found intriguing and which couldn’t be explained away as natural phenomena. You can add Kabbalah and Ouija Board experimentation as a teen. In previous posts I’ve confessed to dabbling in different meditation methods when I was a New Age seeker. Those who haven’t will dismiss it, until it happens to them. In fact there was a time when I doubted Satan’s existence.īut I have experienced the supernatural.
I don’t think that everything bad that has ever happened to me was because Satan assigned one of his minions to make my life temporarily miserable. I’m not the sort of person who imagines demons hiding under the bed or sitting on my shoulder whispering sinful suggestions.
Most importantly, I came it realize that we are in a constant spiritual warfare state whether we know it or not. However, as I listened, many of the things he said resonated with me. There are many sensationalistic books on this topic, and I generally avoid them. Had I not heard Chip Ingram talking on Moody Radio about his book The Invisible War, I wouldn’t have read it.
This is a review of the book The Invisible War by Chip Ingram.
