Power over Demons

H. A. Maxwell Whyte vividly describes his experiences with the demon oppressed and the demon possessed. He gives fascinating information on how to recognize the power of the Devil. While curiosity about the occult and the supernatural pervades our society, the Devil's best defense has been successfully deluding mankind into thinking he does not really exist. Whyte addresses such subjects as:

* The strange world of spirits
* The personification of demons
* The snare of deceptions
* Understanding your authority
* The force of the bloodline

Most importantly, he shows how faith in the power of Christ inundates the Devil's influence. What are demons, and what is their connection with drugs, lust, pornography, crime, and mental illness? These and many other questions are answered. Your faith will rise as never before as you behold the wonderful deliverances that occur today in the mighty name of Jesus.

"Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." –– James 4:7

About the Author

H. A. Maxwell Whyte (1908–1988) embarked on a journey in ministry that was fraught with uncertainty and an absence of familiar landmarks when he was sovereignly led by the Holy Spirit into an understanding of demonic activity and spiritual warfare. As is so often the case with pioneers, he was misunderstood, ridiculed, and ostracized by the Christian community, even in his own city of Toronto. Despite great opposition, he forged ahead in the battle against the forces of Satan, convinced that the ministry of deliverance was scripturally based and was being restored to the church. Later, he began to record his experiences, and over the next two–and–a–half decades, he authored eighteen books. His first book, The Power of the Blood, has been translated into several languages and is widely distributed throughout the world, selling over 500,000 copies internationally.

4.0 out of 5 stars A handy little book with sound observations, July 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Casting Out Demons (Paperback)

The author discusses his experiences with the demonically oppressed and possessed. The advice and information he gives is fascinating and offers much toward a more complete understanding of this little known area of Spiritual Warfare. He answers the questions: "what are demons; what is their connection with drugs, lust, pornography, crime and mental illness, how does faith in the Power of Christ inundate the devil's influence," and many other questions about demonology. After reading this book, those interested in Christian Deliverance Ministry, and casting out demons will have a much better feel and understanding of what is involved, although reading a number of other books on the topic (from the Christian perspective) and some actual experience will be necessary to get a competency for the ministry required and a well-rounded understanding of all that is involved in this vital ministry field. I can recommend it as a sound addition to a collection of books on the subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars You shall know the truth , and the truth shall set you free!, June 25, 2000

Adriaan Reyneke (South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Demons And Deliverance (Paperback)

I read this book and found it a good book to give to people who don't yet know much of the spiritual realm. For it is written that we don't fight against flesh and bone but against prinsipalities and unseen forces(Own words). I strongly recommend this book to all believers and can promise you that everything in this book is as real as you get for I personally have seen a few deliverance sessions and have received a gift to speak in tongues. I just pray for all the lost souls who think that Jesus is a myth and that christianity is just a religion, for it is much more than just another religion, it is a relationship. And I can promise you that nothing on earth can compare with the peace you have in Jesus. And I think it is about time that we as christians should stand together and fight Satan for he is the ruler of the earth. Fot time is little. People these days are so spiritually blind and have lack of knowledge and that is what are keeping them away from Jesus. Lets go out and be deciples!

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Demons And Deliverance (Paperback)

Casting Out Demons and A Manual of Exorcism by Whyte were both 1970's publications and a good read in their original versions and I give them 5 stars each. These comments apply to the book ("DEMONS AND DELIVERANCE") which is an amalgamation of the two earlier works, which were easy to read introductions to deliverance. But Whitaker House has revised this text and updated it for the 'modern' reader. They have changed the impact of some key thoughts. Better to save your money and buy a good used copy in the original editions of Casting Out Demons and A Manual of Exorcism.
H. A. Maxwell Whyte has been termed the father of the modern deliverance ministry. After his intial encounters with demons in 1947 as a pastor in Toronto he became known as an authority on casting our demons, the baptism of the Spirit and the end times. His writings have become classic, especially "The Power Of The Blood" with his influence being straight out of the revivals of the early 1900s. Whyte was an excellent preacher and expounder of the Scriptures. He was an original thinker and it's a pity his other 14 or so publications have not been re-issued. [I wrote this in 2004, now it is 2009 and I still maintain the same viewpoint.][and now it is 2010 and I still agree]
