DEDICATION

This book is expressly dedicated to all the great
missionaries—men, women, and children—who have left
the comfort and convenience of home to take the Gospel to
all the foreign lands.

You’ve experienced the heartbreaking loss of a child,
imprisonment, being ignored, rejected and made to feel
inferior by other ministries and the Church in general, the
abandonment by a spouse who fled to the riches of this
present world, and many other heartaches just to fulfill
the call of God upon your life. You are very precious in the
sight of the Lord.

It is about you—the tireless company of great, dedicated
missionaries—that the Scripture says,

“OF WHOM THE WORLD WAS
NOT WORTHY.”

♥ Hebrews 11:38

PREFACE

Perhaps the most significant words in the Bible are these by our
Lord: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free.” That means, if you don’t know the truth, you are not
free; you are in bondage.

The book you are about to read is the most comprehensive work
to date on spiritual warfare and the kingdom of Satan. It is
detailed and factual, not theory. For the first time, you will
learn the truth about the Dark Kingdom: its organization,
methods of operation and power. It is my sincere hope that this
truth will make you free and enable you to effectively engage
the Dark Kingdom in spiritual combat.

For too long the Church has been told by her ministers that the
devil does not have any power. But then we feel the abrasive
rub of reality when a child is taken from us through death or a
husband leaves for another woman. We try to be spiritual
giants, but the lyrics and siren song from the world drops an
unforgettable melody into our minds and spirits.

Like a toy store window the week before Christmas, Christianity
has been brightly and colorfully packaged to offer free prizes to
all who will come to Jesus. But after coming to Christ, we
discover that an army—one of powerful and unrelenting
demons which the Church has not equipped us to deal with—
has been unleashed against us from the Dark Kingdom. Make
no mistake. The devil has great power in this day in which we
live. We have opened the door to him in America and he has
come in to sit by the cozy fire. The devil is highly organized and
he has monumental plans of heartbreak and death for you and
your family if you don’t know how to stop him.

5

This book is the first definitive work published on the Kingdom
of Satan; a kingdom I call the Dark Kingdom. It is based on
over ten years of research. You will learn the organization,
methods of operation and strategies of the Dark Kingdom. You
will also learn how to stop them through spiritual warfare.
Much of this information was obtained from hundreds of hours
of interviews with both current and former members of the
Dark Kingdom in Nigeria, West Africa. And much of it,
especially in the area of spiritual warfare, was revealed by the
Spirit through prayer.

This is the day when a torrential flood has been released by the
Dark Kingdom against the Church and families, especially in
the United States. The devil is serious about taking you out of
action. He wants your name listed under casualties of spiritual
war. Your reply must be just as serious through the spiritual
weapons given to the Church. The battle in which we are
engaged is extremely serious—a battle for planet earth. The
intensity and severity of this battle will continue to increase
from now until the return of our Lord. There is no escaping the
conflict except through death. We have to face the enemy and
engage him in warfare. Now for the first time we have the
information to do so. Let’s do it! Let’s make the Strong Man
tremble as the Church arises and shakes herself from her
lethargy. Let the Dark Kingdom feel the crescendo of hammer
blows from the Army of the Lord being trained in this hour.

The Lord is speaking to His Church in this hour. He is saying,
“Rise up! Rise up! It’s a new day when the Church will come
forth into her finest hour! Rise up with my Spirit and your
weapons to withstand the Dark Kingdom! Rise Up! Rise up!
You’ve been on the sidelines too long! There is the smell of
victory in the air!”

PREFACE—SECOND EDITION

Seventeen years have passed since we first published
Mysterious Secrets. During this time the book has been read
all over the world. Today we are seeing the fulfillment of things
the Lord showed us back in the ‘80s and ‘90s—that the decade
from 2001 through 2010 would be the most difficult in the
history of the Church.

The judgment of the world has begun and we are standing on
the brink of a “holy war” for control by the Antichrist and
demon power. The events of September 11, 2001, were
significant to those who can see with the “eye of the eagle” what
is occurring in the spirit realm. The world systems will soon
become the “kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ” (Rev.
11:15). God is judging the systems Satan controls such as
finance, government, etc., and He is judging the “gods” of this
world just as He did during the days of Egypt. In addition to
money, these gods include entertainment, business, sex,
science and religion. We will see God judge each of these areas.

In Matthew 16 the Pharisees and Sadducees (religious leaders)
came to Jesus asking to see a “sign from heaven.” The Lord
called them “hypocrites.” Why? Because they claimed to be
religious leaders and yet they could not discern the signs from
heaven of which Jesus was Himself a sign. They could not
“discern the signs of the times” (v. 3). How about our religious
leaders today, can they “discern the signs of the times?”

The judgments of God are primarily designed to bring about
repentance, yet those who do not recognize the “signs of the
times” will probably not repent. God is simply saying to the
world: “The god of money will not save you; the god of
entertainment will not save you; science and technology will not
save you; your government cannot save you; your armies
cannot save you; religion cannot save you.”

7

Therefore, we should begin to see God’s judgments against all of
these areas. There will be a gigantic earthquake that will cause
Los Angeles to slip into the ocean—this is a judgment against
Hollywood with all of its ungodliness and the god of
entertainment. Many churches and ministries will fall because
they are tied in with the world systems—my wife and I have had
many, many dreams and visions concerning this for the past 11
years. This is Revelation 17-18 being fulfilled. The True
Church of Jesus Christ, however, will not be disturbed by these
things but we will begin to look up knowing that our
redemption is drawing near. The next great restorational move
of the Church will begin this decade—that of Resurrection of
the Dead (cf. Hebrews 6:2) as we continue our wilderness
wanderings toward final maturity. This move will result in
glorification and you will see the raising of the dead become as
common as healings are today in the true Church.

The world has become a dangerous place. The first vision I ever
received as a four-year-old child dealt with a nuclear holocaust
in America and I believe this will occur after the Bride is
translated out of the world; however, there may be some limited
exchanges of nuclear weapons before then. Satan is raising an
army of Muslim terrorists and the last great battle for planet
Earth is beginning. Satan has battle plans to stop the Second
Coming of Jesus! He will not go quietly without a fight. Only
those in the Ark (of Jesus) will be safe. I hope you will be busy
persuading all you come in contact with to get inside the Ark
while there is still time for the Lord said, “My Spirit will not
always strive with man.”

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

“For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound,

 1 Corinthians 14:8

INTRODUCTION

THE TRUMPET HAS SOUNDED

The main purpose of this book is to expose the hierarchy and operational
methods used in the Dark Kingdom ruled by the devil. No other book so
accurately details the precise organization and operation of Satan’s evil
government known as the Dark Kingdom.

Much of what you will read may unnerve you, especially if you are not strong
and secure in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not meant to frighten, but rather to
inform. It should be considered a manual on spiritual warfare. Just as in
physical warfare, the better informed a Christian is concerning his enemy, the
better are the chances for victory in spiritual warfare.

Yet, this is not a book for the timid. As we have learned when presenting this
information in Spiritual Warfare Seminars in churches around the world,
many Christians will become afraid of the devil. This is because for the first
time you will learn the truth about his power. Like many of you, I had heard
for years (and still do) that the devil does not have any power. I was taught
that he is strictly a counterfeiter with no power of his own. But the truth is
that the devil has great power. And it is only when we learn what power he
actually has that we can effectively engage him in spiritual warfare. The
Apostle Paul said,

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we
Are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Cor. 2:11

The Church world today has given Satan a huge advantage because we have
been very ignorant of his devices in the modern Church. Consequently, Satan
has caused great havoc in the Church and he continues to create problems for
every true Christian today.

13

The devil is highly organized and he has great power. How do we fight him?
These and other questions will be answered in this book.

As one studies physical warfare, it is obvious that one of the most important
ingredients of victory in battle is the ability to determine the strengths and
weaknesses of your enemy. Although not always possessing superior forces
or armament, the winning army in a battle engagement usually possesses
superior skills in the reconnaissance of enemy forces. This includes:
strengths, weaknesses, type of armament, probable strategies in warfare, etc.

Is not the same true for spiritual warfare? Should we not know what are the
strategies, power, types of organization of forces and other vital information
about the army that our sworn enemy the devil commands? These are vital
truths which the Church needs to understand if we are to wage the “good fight
of faith.” The religious clichés—“Don’t worry about the devil, he doesn’t
have any power; greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world; the
devil doesn't have any power unless God gives it to him”—are not sufficient
for victory in these times of extreme warfare in which we live. The spiritual
warfare in our day is intense—a battle against God and His representatives on
the earth today, the Church.

Of course, we must not forget that power, like most other things is relative.
Compared to God, the devil and his kingdom do not possess great power.
However, compared to mankind in the flesh, the devil is very powerful
indeed. Without the presence of the sweet Holy Spirit in our lives, we would
be like a finely dressed soldier without any weapons against the onslaught of
the members of the Dark Kingdom. But thank God for the Holy Spirit!
Thank God for the Lord Jesus our intercessor who is seated at the right hand
of the Father and “who ever lives to make intercession” for us in the Kingdom
of God. Thank God for our spiritual weapons!

Thank God for the precious gifts of the Holy Spirit and prayer. These are
some of the weapons of our warfare which we will discuss later. The Lord
has so graciously given these to us. But none of these weapons will do us any
good if we are not able to recognize the schemes and attacks of the devil.
What good would it do you to know what to do if you cannot recognize an
attack of the devil? If we were to take an analogy of physical warfare today,
we would be hard pressed to fight any kind of battle against an enemy who

14

was unseen and about whom we knew so very little. Yet this is precisely
what the Church has attempted to do in fighting the devil and his followers.

As you read the information contained in this book, the Holy Spirit will open
your eyes and you will be better able to see the work of the devil and his
cohorts in the earth today.

If you are in the ministry, you will recognize the work of the enemy not only
in your own church or ministry, but also among your fellow ministers. In
Austin, Texas, there is no unity at all among the ministers. There are just a
few who are close. Ministers are very distrustful of one another, jealous, and
quick to find fault with what a fellow pastor or other minister is doing instead
of rejoicing that something is being done for God. This is a problem that is
recognized and openly discussed at monthly ministerial fellowship meetings.
We realize it is wrong and that the Lord wants unity in the Body, especially
among the Five-fold ministry, yet it continues. What is the problem? Is it
jealousy? Pride? Selfish ambition? Yes, but we must realize that these are
only the symptoms of the real problem. The actual problem is our failure to
both see and counteract the spiritual work of the devil, principalities, powers,
rulers of darkness and wicked spirits in the heavenlies.

This book will open your eyes to the methodology of the Dark Kingdom as
they attempt to hinder the work of the Church and her ministers in the earth
today. All the backbiting, criticism, pride, arrogance, self-centeredness, and
other problems are a direct result of the carefully laid plans of the Dark
Kingdom. These things are no accident, nor strictly the result of human
nature. The devil is very much involved in the average church throughout the
world today. He is involved in causing strife, adultery and other sins in order
to destroy the ministry of that church. If he is unsuccessful in getting the
pastor to commit adultery, then he will attempt to influence him to steal from
the church or to begin preaching false doctrine. The devil has many sins—
both of omission and commission—from which one can choose.

Satan has a computerized, military checklist of what has worked in your
family for centuries. He will attempt to get you into sin based on what has
worked for your family in times past. This is why we have mistakenly

15

thought that certain traits such as alcoholism, child abuse and genetic diseases
were predispositioned due to one’s physical family genes. In reality, most of
this is due to the operation of the Dark Kingdom through families. The Lord
said something quite shocking to me in October of 1991. He said, “There are
more people in America today in need of deliverance than there are in need of
healing.” That means Satan is actively involved in some way with every
family in America.

And it is only when we, the Church, wake up to what is occurring within our
church, fellowship, prayer meetings, family or ministry that we will realize
what the enemy is doing and how to prevent him from succeeding. This
book, then, is not only an informational manual of the structure and tactics of
the Evil Government, but it is also a call to action for the Church and Five-
fold ministry. Let us recognize the methodology of the enemy in this spiritual
warfare and do something about it. The Lord is tired of His Church being a
passive body—an easy target for the devil as we only react defensively to
him. The Lord has sounded the trumpet and is calling the Church to battle!
We must go forth into the battle as ready vessels for use by the Holy Spirit.

We must not only realize the spiritual battle in which we are engaged, but also
must learn to recognize the work of the enemy in every area of our lives and
our immediate families. Let each of us seek God with clean hearts and pure
minds. Let us, each of us, make the quality decision to return with sincere
dedication to the Lord Jesus Christ. We must each make a commitment to
live the kind of lives that He wants us to live. Let us strive to purify ourselves
in holiness and “lift up holy hands” to the Lord. We must with resolve
become one Body in unity and a mighty weapon which the Lord can use
against the forces of the Dark Kingdom. We can no longer afford to be
ignorant of the schemes and wiles of the devil.

Let us resolve to go forward into battle and no longer linger on the sidelines
waiting for the Lord to rapture us and take us out of this terrible world. While
we are here, we are commanded to let our light shine. We must exercise our
spiritual authority and strive to make the world a better place in which to live
and raise our families. We must each fulfill our destiny in God through our
covenant duties, the Great Commission and becoming more Christ like.
