D
o you know that you have
an enemy? It’s true. In
fact, we all have an enemy—the
devil—and it’s very important
for us to understand who he is,
or we will be defeated in life.
I went to church for years and
didn’t know the devil was real;
I thought he was just a cartoon
character in a red outfi t with a
pitchfork. I never heard a mes-
sage about the devil and how
we can have authority over him.
I did get a good foundation of
what salvation is, and I’m very
thankful for that. But I wasn’t
living a victorious life in Christ
because I didn’t understand who
the enemy is, that he is the au-
thor of my problems, and that I
need to aggressively resist him.
If you’re thinking, “Joyce,
I don’t want to talk about the
devil,” I understand. But the
devil has strategies and plans to
come against you, so the worst
thing you can do is ignore him.
That’s why I want to help you
get informed about who he is so
you can know how to recognize
when he’s at work in your life
and how to defeat him.
Because the good news is,
through Christ, you can be more
than a conqueror and overcome
the attacks of the enemy (Ro-
mans 8:37).
We’re in a spiritual war
In 2 Corinthians 10:4
(AMPC), the Bible says, “For
the weapons of our warfare are
not physical [weapons of fl esh
and blood], but they are mighty
before God for the overthrow
and destruction of strongholds.”
This verse makes it clear that
our battle is not against fl esh
and blood.
In other words, people are
not the source of our problems.
People can create problems, but
we need to realize that the en-
emy works through people, and
if we just deal with them, we’re
not getting to the root cause of
the issues in our lives.
Now, there are several reasons
why we have trouble: We live in
a fallen world and experience
the effects of sin; we disobey
God and make poor choices;
and we are directly attacked
by the devil. I want to focus on
the ways and reasons why the
enemy brings trouble into our
lives.
It’s his nature
The Bible teaches that Satan
(another name for the devil),
was formerly called Lucifer. He
was created by God as an an-
gel with a free will. He was an
archangel and had great power
and responsibility. Some bibli-
cal scholars believe he was the
angel in charge of worship.
Ezekiel 28:13-15 says he was
covered with precious stones, he
was the anointed cherub and he
was blameless in his ways from
the day he was created until he
turned against God (AMPC).
Isaiah 14:12-15 explains that
he is fallen from heaven because
he said in his heart: “I will as-
cend to heaven; I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God;
I will sit upon the mount of as-
sembly in the uttermost north. I
will ascend above the heights of
the clouds; I will make myself
like the Most High” (AMPC).
He used his free will to try and
be like God, yet he was brought
down by Him.
When Satan fell from heaven,
he took a third of the angels
with him; therefore, the devil
and his demonic hosts are alive
in the earth today. They are the
evil in this world, and we can’t
be lazy Christians and expect to
overcome them.
Keys to defeating your en-
emy
The devil has power, but Jesus
came to put him in his place and
deliver us from the power of the
FREE TEST DRIVE

victoriously over sin and the
enemy. For example, Romans
12:21 says we overcome evil
with good; 1 John 4:4 reminds
us that Christ, who lives in us,
is greater than the enemy in the
world; and Colossians 1:13-14
(NKJV) says God “has deliv-
ered us from the power of dark-
ness and conveyed us into the
kingdom of the Son of His love,
in whom we have redemption
through His blood, the forgive-
ness of sins.”
Here’s some more truth for
you: God loves you and He
has plans for your life that are
good…that will prosper you
and give you hope. Make a
determined decision to aggres-
sively pursue your relationship
with God in prayer and through
studying His Word. By God’s
grace, you can defeat the attacks
of the enemy and have the vic-
torious, more-than-a-conqueror
life Jesus died to give you!

BIRTHS
YOU can overcome!
enemy. First John 3:8 (NKJV)
says, “…For this purpose the
Son of God was manifested,
that He might destroy the works
of the devil.” When we accept
Christ as our Savior and come
into a personal relationship with
Him, we gain access to the au-
thority and power of God in our
lives.
John 10:10 says that the en-
emy comes to steal, kill and de-
stroy, but Jesus came to give us
life—abundant life! And John
8:32 says God’s truth sets us
free. See, when we know the
Word and who we are in Christ,
then we can recognize the lies
of the enemy and how he is
trying to work in our lives. We
can stand our ground by faith in
God, submit ourselves to Him
completely and resist the devil,
and the enemy must fl ee! (See
James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:9.)
There are so many scriptures
that help us know how to over-
come evil in the world and live
