Now converted, John believes his mission is spiritual warfare by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. He takes the reader through scripture reminding us of the authority we have in Christ, Ephesians 2:6. He encourages us to be equipped for battle by being obedient to God and the Word, to repent of sin, to put on the armor of God, Ephesians 6:18. In this book we are reminded that Jesus has made it clear that the devil has come to steal, kill and destroy, that Hell is ready to release its fury on believers, but many Christians are in denial. That said, the one deep thought I shamefully held for 22 years, paralleling author John Ramirez, was the raw hatred I once embraced for the Judeo-Christian God - or any concept of that God. Full disclosure: I am one of those people who believe in a spiritual realm we cannot see, including the existence not only of angels but demons as well. Why, you may ask? First of all, because I believe God's word that shows us that Jesus himself not only believed in them but showed his power over demons on a regular basis. But also because I have had my own experiences with spiritual forces where God has shown his power over the demonic realm.

The book was filled with miraculous testimonies and prayers against all types of physical, mental, and spiritual affliction. This helped the reader understand the depths of this invisible arena. Favorite Quote; If you apply and live out these spiritual weapons in your Christian walk, you will never see a day in the valley of dry bones.Overall, it provides an eye-opener to a world more real than the physical plane. I say more real because we see the effects of spiritual warfare through both the greatest acts of kindness, stumping human comprehension, and also the most harrowing of evils that cripple human understanding. He gives a big run-up to the ending, and even touts the end as this big firefight in the pictures and other places, and then it goes out not with a bang but pretty much a whimper. The firestorm part was pretty awesome (and the fate of the weed and guns was hilarious). Maybe i'm just too accustomed to Hollywood endings and expected Stephens to go down in a blaze of glory....? The devil has come to steal, kill and destroy. Hell has unleashed fury against every believer. Yet many Christians live in denial, letting the enemy steal their blessings, destroy their relationship with Jesus and kill their purpose and identity. But no more! From the New York Times bestselling author of Under and Alone comes an intimate and riveting account of federal law-enforcement agent William Queen’s relentless hunt for one of America’s most cold-blooded criminals.

Here is everything you need to become armed and dangerous against every adversary that threatens your relationship and growth with Jesus. Through the power of the Holy Spirit you can destroy the power of the enemy and protect all that God has given you.Jesus made it clear that the devil has come to steal, kill, and destroy. Hell is ready to unleash fury against every follower of Jesus. Yet many believers live in denial, letting the enemy steal their blessings, destroy their relationship with Jesus, and kill their hope.

He shows us why the devil hates us. First, because we are made in the image of God. We are the redeemed and the devil never will be. Second, we took his job. Satan led worship in heaven. We worship now and forever more our God and our Savior. Thirdly, because we can choose to walk in holiness and obedience to Christ. Holiness is our greatest defense and offense against his schemes. I wasn’t a Satanist like John, but I held a secret, profound odium for any notion of a benevolent, higher force. Armed and Dangerous was an encouraging read. The author, John Ramirez, brings unique insight to the subject of spiritual warfare. Armed and Dangerous is a book by John Ramirez and his wife Dorothy. This is a good book that expands upon the teachings of Jim Jones, who founded a communal society, Jonestown in Guyana, South America. It delves into what Jim Jones teaches about being armed and dangerous – having a power greater than yourself – facing off against the enemy in the inner circle of your life. The first half of this powerful book details how to get the upper hand on any threat or foe you might face. The second half goes even deeper, into realms that will make you feel invincible as you jump from understanding enemies / exes / stalkers / family members to political adversaries, then to organized crime people who have been troves to your own strategy. For a variety of reasons, I tend to read a large amount of books about spiritual warfare. Sometimes I am a bit puzzled just how much I read books on the subject, and as someone who reads about the subject often [1], I find that many books, including this one, hit the same talking points and use a language that may be a bit striking and odd to those who are not familiar with it. This book is a lot like many other books about the subject and says many of the same things. It would seem that there are a large number of Charismatic professed Christians with a great interest in the demonic world, likely because it is the shadow side of the spiritual aspects of Christianity that they have such a high regard for. At any rate, this book is not quite as unique as the author would like to believe it to be, but if you are looking for a book that combines personal stories as well as discussion about the workings of Satan in the contemporary world and in the lives of believers, this is certainly a worthwhile option.A fascinating look into the daily life of an ATF agent and a taut portrayal of a monthlong manhunt, Armed and Dangerous depicts a classic race against time–lawman versus outlaw–in a harrowing true story of life-or-death suspense. Here is everything you need to fight for your purpose, your destiny, your family and your loved ones–and even for unbelievers so they, too, will have the opportunity to make it to the cross. The author asks this question: Why are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ taking such a pounding from the forces of darkness? A short book, I found that it was a solid understanding of the spiritual warfare we Christians know exists, but might be reluctant to discuss.
