CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Currently picking away at...
I think we need to be more aware of what's going on around us. My experience in Reformed circles left me blind to understanding demonic influence.

Not sure if you know much about the Author; but I consider him a Military Hero due to his active service as a Military Chaplain. It seems our government does not:

Well may be I got the wrong end of the stick but it seems the attempted ministry was not successful in that the condition recurred.
I wonder if the prevailing theology that postulates such ministry largely ended with the apostles, results in low expectation of success and therefore limits faith in this age.
We have record of Jesus forbidding the return of the spiritual intrusion.
So theology and faith are somehow linked.
For me it comes back to seeing what the Father is doing - a seeing that needs to be taught.
Maybe we can't 'see' what He is doing if our theology dismisses the possibility.
If we do 'see', then we have the faith to proclaim what He has already ordained.
I had a lady seek me out after 18 years to tell me - she had bought to me her son who was having Grand Mal Seizures. They never returned from that day on.
From early on I had learned to forbid the return of an intrusion.
Faith comes from hearing and seeing the intent of the Father's heart.
Proclaiming on the basis of what we have seen is the key.
Sometimes it is just a matter of proclaiming His Kingdom Reign and the matter is resolved, sometimes it is more specific.
