HEY!
My Summary

Dr. Anderson claims he has ministered to “to thousands of Christians” all over the world who are being “deceived and are living defeated lives” due to possible possession by demons (Anderson, 2001, 9). These demons prevent them from taking control of their lives and from breaking free from bad (sinful) habits. When believers commit sins, they unwittingly make an entrance for demons to enter their lives, becoming enslaved and they cannot live a good and faithful life as intended by God, “people are in bondage to the lies they believe” (Anderson, 11). He assumes that the battle for control is in the heart of Christians, with lies and other temptations constantly attacking their core. Christians are warned to stand their ground in the truth of God’s Word, as they “are not trying …show more content…
He is a firm believer that once we have the Holy Spirit indwelling us, we are essentially “bulletproof’” from Satan’s attacks. I brought up “the armor of God” (Ephesians 6: 10-18), the story of Job and Peter. We discussed why God asks us to take up our cross daily, and the never-ending schemes of the devil to lie and deceive us. I finally asked him if he locked his doors at night. He said, “yes”. I asked, “why?” He said, “to keep others out.” I told him that we must do the same thing in our spiritual life. We must trust and believe in the word of God, live His truth and put on our armor to keep the devil out of our hearts and

    Summary Response: The Prisoner's Dilemma By Stephen Chapman

    This reading was about the different ways of punishment that the law or culture would have for people broke laws and did crimes. It talked about some cruel punishments that the west would have like cutting off the hands of people that stole things, killing people that committed murders, and flogging the men or women for rape. These punishments would all be decided by the judge and how they chose their judge was that he has reached puberty, he is a believer, he knows that laws perfectly, he cannot be diagnose with amnesia and he cannot be a bastard or a female. This really shocked me because besides the small stuff like puberty, believing, not sick and not a…

    Coun 507 Theory Critique Anderson

    “Dealing with the demonic should be seen as a truth encounter rather than a power encounter” (Anderson, 2000, p. 258) this quote by Anderson, 2000, basically sums up his entire counseling theory in The Bondage Breaker. Anderson believes that the majority of what is construed as mental illness by psychologists today is actually demonic strongholds over the mind. Throughout his book, Anderson relays stories about patients he has dealt with whom he says have experienced some sort of physical ailment or mental illness such as hearing voices or physical deficiencies, and after completing the 7 steps in his counseling theory have seen remarkable improvements in their physical and mental health. Anderson believes that we wage a war against spiritual forces in our daily lives and even Christians are not free from the attacks of evil. As an example to his theory, Anderson illustrates a road Christians walk towards Christ with demonic forces leering on either side; his theory is that if a person is to engage in activity with these forces, they become overcome and their minds are controlled by demonic powers. Anderson stresses that everyone has a right to be free and that if they will regain control of their minds and “take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” (Anderson, 2000, p.69), they will have the ability to overcome the forces which control them. The steps to freedom recommended in Anderson’s theory are: #1 Denouncing any involvement in satanic customs, #2 Overcoming deception, #3 Learning to forgive, #4 Submitting to higher authority, #5 Learning to be humble and caring towards others, #6…

    Solomon Northup: Bondage In America

    Bondage in America started in the mid seventeenth Century and kept on being honed for the following 250 years by the provinces and states. Slaves, for the most part from Africa, worked in the creation of tobacco products and later, cotton. With the innovation of the cotton gin in 1793 alongside the developing interest for the item in Europe, the utilization of slaves in the South turned into an establishment of their economy. In the late eighteenth century, the abolitionist development started in the north and the nation started to partition over the issue amongst North and South. The decision of Abraham Lincoln, an individual from the abolitionist subjugation Republican Party, to the administration in 1860 persuaded numerous southerners that…

    He states that God has a various way which is unsearchable of eliminating wicked people and ultimately sending them to hell. Moreover, he acknowledged that God held and restrained the devil with his mighty and powerful hand from descending onto human beings and destroying them. This is because the old serpent is depicted as being ready to pounce on them when the gate to hell is widely opened willing to swallow evil human beings. Although he concedes to these dark forces and principles that reign in hell are powerful, and he believes they cannot match the power and authority that God possesses. This is because God has subdued and controlled the activities of their wickedness since he is mighty and…

    The story “Salvatore” was written by William Somerset Maugham. He was one of the most popular storytellers. Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. His parents died when he was still a boy. While a student in St. Thomas´s Hospital in London, he got to know the life of the poor people of London. His longest novel was “Of Human Bondage”. The book tells the story of the first 30 years of Maugham´s life. William Somerset Maugham died in the South of France where he had lived since 1930. The genre of the story “Salvatore” is a novel, it describes a love story of a couple never going to be together. As we can see at the beginning of the story Maugham describes the main character as a boy of fifteen with a laughing mouth and care-free eyes. And his childhood, where Salvatore liked to spend his time lying at the beach or helping his father in the little vineyard. When he madly fell in love with a pretty girl he had to leave his village for the military service. Doing his military service Salvatore was dreadfully homesick. But the hardest was to be apart from the girl he loved so much. When he fell ill and learnt that it was a form of rheumatism that made him unfit for further service his heart exulted, for he could go home. The author pays special attention to the fact how strong was a wish to come back home for Salvatore and see the girl he loved. But later Salvatore founds out that his girl refused from love and the main reason was his illness. At the end of the story Salvatore meets a woman Assunta, who is willing to marry him. After their marriage the author describes us Salvatore as a great, big husky fellow but with kindly eyes that he had as a boy. Salvatore had a portrait of a man, just an ordinary fisherman who possessed nothing in the world except a quality, which calls goodness. Despite that fact that Salvatore started a new life without his girl, the loss hurt him and stayed in his heart…
