ABOUT THE BOOK
The book you are about to read is the most complete work to date on spiritual warfare and the kingdom of
Satan. It is detailed and factual, not theory. For the first time or maybe your second 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 harsh wipe
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 warning song from the world drops an unforgettable melody into our minds
and spirits. The devil has great power in these days in which we live. We have opened the door to him in our
Churches and he has come in to sit by the cozy fire. The devil is highly organized and he has enormous plans of

heartbreak and death for you and your family if you don’t know how to stop him. In this book you will learn how
to stop them through spiritual warfare.
I’m sure you’ll agree that we all want
to be the best parents we can be. We
all believe we have a lot of parenting
ideas. As parents, we have our own
hopes and dreams for our children.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
BROTHER DINI PASCAL ABANDA
We live in a day of exciting growth, when churches are
experiencing a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit and new believers
are being gathered in.
The challenge is clear. Christians need to be firmly grounded in the
truths of scripture, so that they are equipped to give teaching and
pastoral help to new believer. 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.” John 8:32

his calling in the deliverance and evangelical ministry and has been
traveling nationally and internationally with the Divine message of

THE SPIRIT WORLD DOMINATES THE PHYSICAL
WORLD. THIS IS ONE REASON THE WORD OF
GOD ENCOURAGES US TO DEVELOP OUR- SELVES
SPIRITUALLY AND TO SET OUR MIND ON THINGS
ABOVE IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT.
But then life happens, and things
spiral out of control, forcing us to
be the parent we don’t want to be.
We can become stuck in patterns
of responding to our children that
we don’t like, many of which we are
familiar with, without understanding
why. Our life experiences, like those
of our children, shape who we are.
Because parenting is so challenging,
we get our information about children
and parenting from a variety of
sources, including our own parents,
family, friends, child care, schools,
professionals, and the media. As
parents, we sometimes ONLY
repeat what we know. Most of
what we know comes from our own
experiences, specifically how our
parents raised us. Many of these
experiences, as painful as they are,
may have a long-term impact on
us. The attitudes and perspectives
we have about children, parenting,
and families are significantly shaped
by our early development in our
biological families. Knowing our roles
as parents and the impact we have on
our children’s future helps us succeed.
As parents, we may lose ourselves
from time to time due to triggers
caused by unresolved issues. Such
occurrences can lead to situations
that are harmful to both the child and
the parent. As parents, it is critical
that we do not allow our emotions,
particularly
negative
and toxic ones,
to steer us.
We don’t
want to instill
fear in our
children and
allow them to
create their own
little monsters.
We need to watch
our own behavior and
even our tone of voice as parents
because we are being watched by
small little eyes all the time.
I’d like to use this opportunity
to encourage parents to seek
forgiveness for their own childhood
traumas and to listen to their inner
child, who must first be healed. We
are able to be a more present parent
to our children as a result of taking
the time to work on ourselves first. In
today’s fast-paced world, we all know
that family life has become complex
and difficult to maintain; however,
there is always hope, and we must
keep it alive no matter what.
In my work as a parenting life coach,
I have met many parents who are
overwhelmed with the task of
parenting and who are susceptible to
the influence of others (I do not see
anything wrong in seeking advice but
some voices cause more harm than
good).
As
parents, I
believe we
have the
ability to
influence
and change
our children
to become the
best versions of
themselves. We can
do this by influencing
them through our words and actions
to become responsible adults. So, as
parents, we are the most important
people in the lives of all children, not
just our own. Our task is enormous
as we shape the next generation with
clear instruction from the word of
God as stated in Proverbs 22:6 “Train
up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart
from it.”
HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL
HINTS.
• Listening to your children while
maintaining eye contact
• Do not be distracted when
talking to your child
• Have fun by allowing them to
lead the play
• Mirror and reinforce good
behavior at all times
• Introduce new experiences
