Naming the enemy and all the spirits it uses are part of the church's ministry. Praise be that Jesus is the one who came and still comes able to take the enemy and all his forces on.

Thanks for the insight. Ps. I trace my ancestry in America to John Stone of Guilford Conn. I believe there were several Stone's that came from England and not all were related, but I like the fact that there are a few other Rev'd Stone's out there. Blessings Calvin Greetings;
