Quotes from Neil T. Anderson's Book

Victory Over The Darkness was written by Neil T. Anderson and copy written in 1995. 

These are quotes from his book:
The Church is not a hospital; it's a military outpost under orders to storm the gates of hell. Every believer is on active duty, called to take part in fulfilling the Great Commission.

God's love for you is the great eternal constant in the midst of all the inconsistencies of your daily walk.

Discern where someone is coming from before trying to move them to some place else.

Expose the insidious reality of Satan's relentless assault of deception on the Christian's mind.

Your past has shaped your present belief system and will determine your future unless it is dealt with. 

There is a process to maturity but people can be set free instantly. 

All sinful behavior is a wrong attempt at meeting basic needs.
1. Rejected: Need to Belong!
2. Guilt and shame: Need of Self-worth!
3. Weak and helpless: Need of Strength and Self-control! 

Today, a true sense of belonging comes from not only knowing we belong to God, but we also belong to each other.

One may try to get their needs met by the world, the flesh or the devil, or they can allow God to meet all their needs according to His riches in glory (italics mine). If you are not glorifying God then He has no source from which to meet your need. For God to meet all my needs is conditional according to His riches in glory.

Good feelings follow right behavior.

It's who you are that determines what you do and not the other way around.

No person can consistently behave in a way that's inconsistent with the way he perceives himself.

The Bondage Breaker was also written by him in 1990 and it is actually more up front about demons and their influences in the Christian's life.
