"'The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons' (1 Timothy 4:1 NIV). That is presently happening all over the world, and pastors, disciplers, and counselors are waking up to that reality and learning how to set captives free.
