CONTENTS

I T WAS IN the early 1970s, and my father, Fred Stone, was pastoring the Fillmore Avenue Church of God in Northern Virginia. One evening Dad received a phone call at home from a woman whose last name was Hall. She had been looking in the phonebook for a Full Gospel church. When Dad answered, she got right to the point. Her husband worked for the government, and she was looking for a minister who believed in healing prayer to go and pray for him. Dad, not knowing the family, consented to go, as he believed in the power of prayer and had witnessed several dramatic healings during his ministry. Dad went to the hospital, prayed a very energetic prayer for the man (named Bill), and shortly the man was released from the hospital, free of cancer by a touch from the hand of a merciful God. The family joined the church and became faithful followers of Christ.

Dad and Bill became very close friends. Dad learned that Bill worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in an unmarked building in Northern Virginia. Bill could speak seven languages and had worked in Russia and the Middle East. Years earlier he had been sent to Saudi Arabia to warn King Faisal that the Russian spies had infiltrated the Saudi government and were secretly brainwashing a mentally challenged nephew to assassinate the king. Despite the warning, in 1975 the nephew, Faisal bin Musaid, assassinated the king.

One afternoon Dad received a call from Bill. His voice sounded urgent: Preacher, can we get together later this evening? Something has happened, and I am very disturbed. Dad and Bill set up a meeting at a local restaurant. Sitting at a back table, Bill said, Preacher, something has happened that is going to create a national crisis in the Nixon administration. Bill proceeded to inform Dad of a break-in at the Watergate Complex where the Democratic National Committee Headquarters was located. There had been wiretaps on the phones, and Bill had personally heard tape recordings of several conversations . (He never said which tapes or where they came from.)

Dad never discussed this with anyone until after Bills apparent death. (Dad actually thought Bills funeral was stagedan unopened coffinand that Bill had been sent to a foreign country.) Dad never shared the details of what Bill said that afternoon until about twenty years after the Watergate scandal cost Nixon his presidency.

According to Bill, information revealed there was a plan in place by the opposing political party to try to hurt Nixons reelection bid. The plan was to damage Nixon by using the controversial Vietnam War and making him appear to be incompetent, and, as a result, the war was going badly. Without going into details, an official in a very high position with links to American military planning for the Vietnam War was promised a very high and lucrative position in the new administration if he would assist in the strategy. This man was copying the bombing raids and other information of the United States in Vietnamwhich were secret plansand handing over the information to an agent linked to the Russian embassy in Washington. The Russians were then transferring the plans to the Vietnamese leaders. Part of the break-in was linked to a belief that the Russians may have compiled personal information on the man who was stealing the plans and were actually blackmailing him to hold him as a hostage by claiming that if the information the CIA had about him was released, he would (in that day) lose his job in the government. Before information of the Watergate break-in was reported in the Washington Post , Bill told Dad, What I have heard is so damaging that if the American people who love this nation knew, it would negatively impact the future of the Democratic Party. The evidence Bill heard and saw proved there were active Socialists and Communists in America working within the system against American forces in the war to discredit the president. He stated, It proves the higher-ups in the party are pro-Socialist, and some are Communists in their ideology. Bill predicted that Nixon would be the brunt of the news stories and would be forced to step down in embarrassment. Several days later the news broke across Northern Virginia of the break-in and spread like wild fire throughout the world. There are more details (that my father suggested I never share), but I think you get the picture. You cannot win a war when the enemy knows your battle plans! However, what if you knew your enemys strategies? How would that change the outcome of your conflicts?

Now switch the scene. You have been a Christian for several years, and by using Scripture and practical daily experience, you have discovered how your archenemy thinks and works. You are a strategy soldier and understand your strengths and weaknesses and where, in the future, you could be vulnerable. You have discovered the need to close the front and back doors of your lifethe front door being the things that people see, and the back door being the secret entrances that the enemy often uses to avoid being detected, the secret things .

On a particular day you walk into a restaurant alone for a quick lunch. The restaurant is packed, and you are seated at a table near the bar. Being a former alcoholic, you must mentally resist a slight churning in the pit of your stomach to order a drink. But because you are armed with the knowledge of the danger of the substance, the fiery dart (Eph. 6:16) entering your mind is immediately quenched by the knowledge of the danger and the fact that your desires have been changed!
