Father Gabriel Infante, a charismatic man of God, undergoes a test of his faithfulness, unaware that his immortal soul is at stake. Satan, father of lies, brings back Gabriel's high school girlfriend, Theresa Reynolds, who became a religious sister after disappearing from his life 20 years before. The boxing priest goes about his action-filled days preaching God's love, justice and forgiveness, healing the sick, converting sinners, expelling demons and even raising the dead. He falls in love again with Theresa and desires to marry her even if it means abandoning both of their ministries and renouncing their vows; they maintain their former relationship a secret from everyone around them. Linda Richards, a very attractive woman who dies accidentally electrocuted, is revived by the Miracle Weaver and then becomes quite interested in making the priest hers. Sister Theresa, first proposes hiring the revived, unemployed single mother at their parish school, and then has to contend with the unexpected rival for the mystic's attention. A gang member becomes possessed by the devil and is causing severe tribulation in the parish; Fr. Gabriel must confront the evil spirit in his young friend through an exorcism. When the two religious' passionate romance becomes uncontainable, they encounter an interesting character from their common past, Barbara Williams, who sets up a seduction for the mystic in the privacy of her luxurious, isolated estate. Fr. Gabriel makes the right decision before plunging into the temptation. After he is instrumental in restoring sight to a man born blind, he realizes that doing God's will is most important to him. Once he says good-bye to the love of his life, Gabriel has to reject an attempted possession by Satan. The test appears to be over, but God had granted the devil six months and only four have passed.
