About the book:
It began with a phone call from a friend: “I have someone I’ve tried to lead to Christ for 25 years. He has a spiritual warfare issue. Can you talk to him?” I had no clue how to help the man when he told me he had demons on his property and was planning suicide. So I prayed, asking God what to say. Deuteronomy 6:6-9 came to mind: put God’s Word on your gates and doors. Gates and doors protect. God’s Word protects better. His Word still has power. We put Bible verses on tent stakes—spiritual warfare stakes—and buried them on the property corners. Everything changed. The man became a Christian. Others copied the idea. People called to tell me the good things that resulted: no more nightmares, restored elationships, changes in personality, etc. Now I get calls from people almost every day. It’s not magic. It’s God. He’s the “I AM,” and He still does. Now I know why the enemy wants the 10 commandments removed: they are a symbol of God’s authority on the land. Placing them is an act of faith. Jesus didn’t do many miracles where there was no faith. Read these real-life stories and let them encourage you to put God’s Word around you in every possible way. Get or make your own spiritual warfare stakes, put them around you, and watch what God does. Pastor Glynn Stone of Mobberly Baptist Church in Longview endorses the book in an impressive way: “Demons are real. The devil is real. But deliverance is also real! As a pastor, I am often asked about demonic activity. While there are countless resources on supernatural activity, I’ve never run across one that is so consumed with biblical insights providing such practical tools as my friend Steve Hemphill has done with What Are The Stakes?”
