The Triumphant Churchrichly in ALL WISDOM..." (Col. 3:16).
It is the wisdom of God's Word dwelling in the
believer richly that brings maturity in dealing biblically
with the devil. A lack of scriptural teaching and sound
wisdom in God's Word has resulted in foolish practices
occurring in the Body of Christ that are hurtful to

ministers teach and demonstrate certain practices in
their services, that doesn't mean what they are doing is
right or scripturally sound.
Ministers need to be careful what they feed the flock
of God. Paul told Timothy, "Preach the word ..." (2 Tim.
4:2). People need to be taught what the Word has to say

devices. But stay with the Word, not opinion or
experiences. Experiences can be helpful, but only if
they're in line with the Word. Ministers should be
careful to lay a foundation with the Word of God first.

teach that they have further revelation about warfare
that's out beyond the Word of God.
There are no revelations outside of the Word. Any
revelation you have that comes from the Spirit of God is
in line with the Word of God. People get off into the
