Exposing Satan's Playbook The Perry Stone

Years ago one of my mistakes was when I fought a terrible mental struggle and never told my wife until after the struggle ended. That conquering mentality seized me as I thought, “I’ll fight this by myself.” T URN O N THE L IGHT As I have related before, as a minister of the gospel, at times I have experienced various forms of attack from the spirit realm. Many years ago I recall taking an overseas trip to a former Communist nation. While staying in a hotel with a fellow missionary, late one night I literally saw a demonic spirit manifest at the foot of my bed. It appeared to be very old, with long hair that looked as brittle and hard as steel wool. The eyes glared, and the facial expression was wrinkled and a cross between hate and anger. The image lasted only a few seconds, but within days a mental battle had been initiated that continued for several months. Upon returning home, I encountered the most severe form of mental oppression and depression in my life. For several days I blamed it on tiredness, then as days turned to weeks, I placed the blame on being overworked, but as weeks turned to months, my desire to study, pray, fast, and preach became void, and I increasingly wanted to run away from it all and said I was burned out . Notice my excuses: tiredness, overwork, and burnout. That was the common rational explanation. In reality, I was under a serious attack of some spiritual power that was oppressing, harassing, and attempting to control my thinking.
