When the Enemy Strikes: The Keys to Winning Your Spiritual Battles

by Charles F. Stanley

Book Overview

At some point or another every Christian will experience a satanic attack-a willful, determined assault by the Devil for the purpose of harming our spirit, soul, or body. God wants Christians to be under His control, but the Enemy will do his best to destroy everything good in our lives. So the question is not how to avoid satanic attacks, but how to overcome them. Satan is not omnipotent, but he is nonetheless a very powerful adversary. However,...

Clear and Concise Message

Anyone with depression, anxiety, addition should read this book. It has helped me so much! Make God first in your life. I was having a terrible time. My husband passed and my daughter with my 4 grandchildren decided to abandon me. I haven't seen them for a long time. I wish I'd found this book a while ago. But I thank the Lord for getting it in my hands.

Good book

I like Charles Stanley and his books and this book is no exception. We all need to know how to recognize our enemy and know how to fight him. This book is the guide to doing so. Liked what it had to say.

Great Bible study

Living the Extraordinary Life by Charles Stanley provides the path to abundant living for both the Christian and the unbeliever looking for answers in today's hectic society. It is a study of nine principles that Dr. Stanley has discovered in his walk with the Lord. They include: God's Grace is the Starting Point; Trust the Lord, and He will move Heaven and Earth to Accomplish His Purpose; Obedience Always Brings Blessing; Knowing God's Will is Worth the Wait; and Fight Your Battles on Your Knees, and You'll Win Every Time. "Are you wrestling against forces that seem out of your control? Is life's treadmill going faster that you are? If you answer yes...you are running your own life." And therein lies the problem for each of us. In this age of instant everything, if we don't get-or find-the answer yesterday, we ignore God and try to solve problems our way. Dr. Stanley shows through Scripture and example the wisdom and blessing that is ours when we slow down, prioritize, and submit to God. We were created with a "God" hole in us. When we try to fill that place with anything but God, we are bound to fail. When we ignore God's rules and warnings, we set ourselves up to fall. Developing a relationship with our Father takes time and effort, but is worth it. His way is seldom easy, but yielding to it always results in blessing and a deeper relationship with Him. The fruit of the Spirit is proof of His love to us and through us to others. It is proof of the Extraordinary Life possible to each one of us. Living the Extraordinary Life is a great Bible study for individuals or small groups. At the end of each chapter there are a few questions and extra Scriptures to study. He also has provided journaling pages at the back. - Linda Demorest, Christian Book Previews.com

don't buy in to the devil's lies

Last year up until the present time has been the strongest in my life in my Christian walk and my soul was in an intense spritual warfare with dark forces. I almost wanted to abandon my faith, and give in to thoughts of despair, worthlessness, and I had thoughts of doing things that I cannot even write about on here, needless to say they were all lies from the evil one. I read this book and it really opened my eyes to the tricks of the devil and how he uses our weaknesses and the things we care most about, against us. This book is very thorough and make no mistake about it, the devil is out to destroy people...

It's Changed My Life

This book already has me making some very necessary changes in my life. It's not a matter of works per se; however, this book really helps you recognize the various sins that every one of us struggles with and what we can do to keep the enemy from winning the struggle. I confess to a spirit of greed and materialism, and I'm now eager to make some changes. For instance, I love to purchase Christian books; however, I already have so many I haven't even read yet, so my first step is to not look at any more of the Christian book catalogs that I get in the mail. I will always see something I just have to have, but by not putting myself in certain sections of the stores (like the jewelry or make-up sections) and buying only what I went into the store for in the first place (necessities), I will greatly help the lust of my eyes and greed in my heart. This book makes you realize that the Lord has given His best for us and that we need to do our best to please Him. I feel very excited to do this for Him, even though I know there will be times of struggle. The great thing I also learned in this book is that I can always call on the Lord during those times of stuggle and ask for His help (I've already told Him I can't do it on my own). Thank the Lord for people like Charles Stanley who understand the Lord's ways better than I do and explains it in such an exciting way, not a condemning way. I love this book - a great book indeed!

This book is worth 10 stars!!!!

This book is all about the devil, and it is so thought provoking. Often I found myself having to go back and re-read the sentence, because there was so much to learn from it. I am definitely more aware of how to resist the devil and his games now that I've read this book. This is a must read for everyone!
