Jessie Penn-Lewis addresses the spiritual conflict between the forces of the soul (psuche) and the spirit (pneuma) in the last days, emphasizing the need for fresh revelation from the Holy Spirit to navigate the changing landscape of faith. She warns against the deceptive power of 'soul-force' that is prevalent in various religious practices, particularly in India, and how it can influence believers negatively. Penn-Lewis highlights the dangers of psychic powers masquerading as prayer, urging Christians to focus their prayers upward and avoid directing them towards others, which can inadvertently generate harmful soul-force. She calls for discernment among believers to recognize the true source of spiritual power and to rely on the Spirit of God rather than the manipulative forces of the world. The sermon serves as a reminder of the importance of genuine, Spirit-led prayer in the face of increasing spiritual challenges.
