Penetrating the Darkness: Discovering the Power of the Cross against Unseen Evil
Overview
Evidence that evil is flourishing faces Christians every day, leaving many feeling hopeless and helpless. What they don’t realize, says esteemed pastor Jack Hayford, is the power that is theirs through the cross. Instead, they labor under the misconception that spiritual warfare occurred only during biblical times. But it is right here, right now, says Pastor Jack. And for the first time he lays out the strategies he’s learned for engaging and defeating evil—through prayer. When believers embrace the cross’ power, they will stand up in hope and light against the evil of this world, penetrating even the deepest places where the enemy’s darkness dwells.

“In short, the breakthrough power of spiritual warfare, when it is directed by the Holy Spirit, most naturally and effectively flows when in between we are living a solid, day-to-day walk with Jesus—in life and in prayer.” (Page 31)
“Rules of engagement is a military term that defines for commanders and troops when, where and how force will be used. I have chosen this term to title this chapter, not only because we are setting a framework into place, but also to send a clarion call that when we pray, we are, indeed, engaged in spiritual warfare.” (Page 10)
“This is the basic text at the heart of the idea of ‘spiritual warfare’ and is foundational to our understanding of what He has called us to do in penetrating the darkness of our world.” (Page 17)
“Learning the habit of daily devotional prayer will take time. But it is step one in learning to penetrate the darkness through prayer.” (Page 47)
“what I have seen is that when people begin praying for their families, the Lord starts changing them!” (Page 41)
