My experiences with evil have prompted me to take up studies at the University of South Africa (UNISA) for an M.A. in theology, which researches the different spirit appearances/manifestations that are classified into four main types/groups. Central to this book are my ownexperiences with evil.
My border experiences with evil have taught me this: The Church must fight against evil. The Church depends on its Lord, who says: 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.' That does not mean, however, that I should sit back and do nothing.MyLord is 'God over all'! In letting me share in His Kingdom, He has assigned me a responsibility. This responsibility lies therein that I practise love and that I avoid evil or combat it consciously and appropriately. Everything else I leave to my Lord to whom I have entrusted my life, and whowill also determine it.
