Overcoming Superstition
Overcoming Superstition2
The One Before Whom All Shall Bow
By A.W. Tozer0PHP 2:9A.W. Tozer emphasizes that true freedom from superstition comes from a deep understanding of God's character and being, rather than relying on mere words or gestures. He argues that the devil is not intimidated by the name of Jesus as a word, but rather by the powerful Person behind that name. Tozer asserts that it is the sovereign authority of Jesus, as Lord and Christ, that causes Satan to flee, not the superstitious practices that many engage in. He encourages believers to cultivate a personal relationship with God to overcome fears rooted in superstition. Ultimately, knowing God intimately liberates us from the snares of superstition and empowers our faith.

The sermon calls for a deeper knowledge of God's true nature to combat these unfounded fears and superstitions.
