Another Type of Soldier

By Jerry Holmes, Ph.D.

After you read this book, ignorance will no longer be an excuse for being unaware of the evil beings which plague your life. This is your roadmap to spiritual freedom. Power to defeat the devil has been given to each believer; it’s up to you to use that miraculous power.

Nothing in the universe can stop you when you have the correct information and the right weapons. Learn to identify and conquer the enemy. Reclaim your rightful freedom. Uncover your divine destiny. Live your life to the fullest, without evil hindrances.
If we live according to the Word, God will deliver us from any adverse circumstance. Life will never be the same when you use the spiritual power which has been provided to you. It’s up to you. You can be the victor or the victim. Which will you choose? You can choose to let evil take control. Or, you can choose to follow our Lord and Savior to reap peace, joy, and all of His great benefits.

Jerry Holmes, Ph.D.

Jerry Holmes was born in Andalusia, Alabama and raised on a farm in Coffee Spring, Alabama. He knew what he wanted to do with his future, even at the age of twelve. He set his mind on attending college and on the military where he was also blessed to be a commissioned officer in a special Air Force Reserve.

DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to my wife, Elois, children, and grandchildren. My family has been my happiness and support throughout the years. Sincerely, I don’t know what I’d do without them in my life. God has blessed me to have the loveliest wife in the world and together we have five beautiful, adult children. They have always been supportive of the divine destiny God has ordained for my life.

I also dedicate this work to my parents, Willie and Portia Holmes. They have made their transition and are in Heaven with the Lord. They reared me to love the Lord and my family. They knew that one day I would do a great work to help others know the benefits of serving God. I shall always be grateful for my heritage.

The devil and his forces did not want me to publish this book. Satan knows he is going to be exposed herein. I believe this book will be a blessing to everyone that reads it, worldwide. It is a road map to joy, happiness, peace, success and salvation.

–Dr. Jerry Holmes

Foreword

You will be able to win every spiritual battle as a result of embarking on the knowledge that comes from this book. The information and ideas in this very special book will actually change your life. It was written by the inspiration of the Almighty God. The ideas came to Dr. Holmes to assist believers with tools to fight the wiles of the devil.

The success stories taken from the Bible show that believers are winners if they obey God’s Word. Success by using the Word has no barriers with respect to race, color, or cultural difference. The concepts in this book are like food for the spirit–just as food nourishes and strengthens the physical body. The contents of this book will help you spiritually if the concepts are practiced. So make a commitment to defeat the enemies beating you down.

A word of caution, this book is not a book to be read just one time. It is food for the soul.

–Missionary Elois Holmes

INTRODUCTION

I was a commissioned officer in the Special Air Force Reserve for many years. I am well versed in military strategy and weaponry. However, the battle in the spirit realm cannot be won using natural weapons. We must become another type of soldier. We must fight the enemy with the weapons given us by God.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For
