One-third of Jesuss public ministry was spent confronting the devil and casting out evil spirits, which we often term deliverance today. I grew up under some of the great pioneers who were used to help restore these teachings of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit to break curses and set the captives free. I am so thrilled to see another generation arising full of the love and power of God and know in fact that you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32). When I first met Sophia Ruffin, I was absolutely taken aback. I had not heard such a believable and astonishing testimony like this in many years. I wept under the reality of what I saw and heard. This dear beauty is a force to be reckoned with. I know a dread champion when I meet oneI am not the new kid on the block at this point and time. With this in mind, it is my delight to commend to you the life, testimony, and admonitions of one of the new Joan of Arcs in this generation. And I know what I just said. Yes, I do!

Its not difficult to cast a devil out of a believer who wants to be free. The more difficult part is walking out that freedom. In Set Free and Delivered, Sophia Ruffin shares from Scripture and personal experience how believers can combat the enemys attempt to capture their hearts again. With practical, real, raw advice followed by powerful breakthrough prayers you can release over your life, Sophias new book will terrorize the enemy of your soul and help you walk free indeed. I highly recommend this book to every believer struggling to go and sin no more (John 8:11).

MORNINGS WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
In twenty years of ministry I have seen countless people experience genuine deliverance only to be swept back into the same bondage after God had so gloriously delivered them! This is not acceptable. The art of staying free is vital. It is not enough to experience just temporary freedom. In her latest book Sophia Ruffin takes on this difficult issue and provides vital insight, tools, and prayers to empower continuing freedom. She is not writing about a theory but pouring out from the depths of her own journey through deliverance. Her story is one of a miraculous turnaround. As you turn the pages, you will literally be transformed by word, activation, prayer, and supernatural power!

I WOULD LIKE TO take the time to give thanks, glory, and honor to God, who has been my solid rock and who has been faithful to watch over His word concerning my life. God, Your friendship has been consistent, and I am grateful that You have never left me during the process. I will always give You the glory.
I dedicate this book to my loving family, friends, and leaders, who have all played an instrumental role in me getting free and staying free. I love each of you for the tears, prayers, and love you have sown into my life. I am blessed to be connected to some amazing people.
I want to personally thank my coach/spiritual father, Apostle John Eckhardt, who has helped open up my life in dimensions I never dreamed. Your wisdom, impartation, leadership, and covering has blessed my life tremendously. God sent you into my life when I needed you most. I remember in January 2017 you pulled me to the side and spoke this moment into my life. I can never thank you enough. I love you so much, Coach.
To my parents, Doris and Lindsey Ruffin: thank you for loving me through it all. I love you both. Alison, Lindsey Jr., and Reggie: you all are the best siblings in the world. I am grateful to have such a supportive family.
