Don't throw away people who don't look like they have much to offer.

Dr Tony Evans talks about ways we can win spiritual battles we thought we had already lost.

They may be the voice of God for you to get back what the devil has

taken from you. This is the alternative with Dr Tony Evans, author, speaker,

senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, and president

of the Urban Alternative.

You win some and you lose some but today Dr Evans explains how spiritually even the battles we lose can be turned into victories.

Let's join him.

I want to talk to you about recovering what the enemy is stolen.

Because there's probably nobody in this room who hasn't been ripped off of something

that's in the spiritual realm.

Now it may be affecting you in the spiritual realm. Now, it may be affecting you in the physical realm,

but it really, the rip-off occurred in the spiritual realm,

and if you don't get it there, then you're looking at all the wrong places to get your stuff back that has been stolen.

In 1st Samuel, chapter 30, as the book of 1st Samuel concludes,

David is in Palestine territory on the run from Saul and it says it happened when David and his men came to Ziegleg on the third day,

verse one says, the Amalekites had done a raid on Zigleg, over through Zigleg, burned it with fire, took captive women all that was in it both small and great carried them off and

went their way there was a raid on their world.

Their world got raided.

One day, everything's looking fine,

and one day everything's looking like it's going to be okay. The next day there's a raid.

And his whole world and that of his men were turned upside down because an enemy snuck in.
