Adonai, a Hebrew name for God, means the One who must be obeyed. The name implies that when we obey Him we can expect His direction, supervision, and provision.

Adonai Resources was founded in Denver, Colorado, on June 24, 1985, as a result of a call and purpose as stated in Acts 26:16-18, “...to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, in order that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.” In 2002 Adonai Resources moved to the Pacific Northwest.

Adonai Resources: A Brief History

Areon Potter was born and raised in northern California. After serving four years with the United States Air Force, he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Northwest Nazarene College where he met and later married his wife, Carol. He worked as a counselor and teacher at a state correctional facility for delinquent boys in Nevada for nearly 9 years. Areon and Carol have 2 sons, Ryan and Troy.

In 1980 the family moved to Denver, Colorado, where Areon worked as a Christian counselor for 5 years with Grace Fellowship International. It was while there, in 1982, that he first became aware of how Christians could be influenced by the kingdom of darkness. In July of 1985, Areon and Carol sensed God leading them to found Adonai Resources.

In order to teach Areon what he needed to know, God began bringing an increased number of believers across his path who were experiencing the work of the enemy in their lives. As he learned to deal effectively with harassing demonic forces, Areon gathered valuable insight into the enemy’s schemes and tactics.

In the fall of 1992, Areon sensed a need to organize the information God had taught him about spiritual warfare. The author’s efforts have brought forth his first book — From Darkness to Light.
