“John A. MacMillan: Pioneer Missionary of Spiritual Warfare and the Believer’s Authority”

Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 1

Abstract

Many people associate teaching on spiritual warfare and the authority of the believer from charismatic or Word of Faith sources, especially like Kenneth Hagin. However, the original source of teaching on this doctrine comes from classic holiness roots in the Higher Life and Keswick movements, especially from John A. MacMillan, a missionary, writer, editor, and professor with the Christian and Missionary Alliance. In 1932 he wrote a series of articles entitled “The Authority of the Believer,” eventually published in book form, distributed widely and republished in other periodicals. MacMillan had a remarkable and extensive ministry in the exercise of the authority of the believer and spiritual warfare spanning more than thirty years. His experiences include divine protection, healing, divine intervention, power encounters with demonic forces, and teaching on territorial spirits and generational bondages. Numerous evangelical and charismatic leaders have quoted or referred to his teachings and principles.
