Conquering the Spirits of Seduction & Perverseness

Kingdom Corner Podcast — January 16, 2026

Episode Summary

In today’s Kingdom Corner, Matt Geib continues the Friday reading series from Angela Greenegg’s powerful deliverance manual Power and Authority Over Darkness. We explore two destructive spiritual strongholds—the Seducing Spirit and the Perverse Spirit—and how they infiltrate minds, wound hearts, distort truth, and trap souls through deception, lust, offense, and unresolved trauma.

Matt opens by updating listeners on the two-track rhythm of the podcast:

• Tuesdays — Kingdom People in the Pages of History (just завершено: The Nightingale Song series)

• Fridays — Book readings that equip believers to recognize and defeat spiritual strongholds.

This episode is both a sobering warning and a hopeful call to healing, repentance, and renewed minds.
