Episode 137 – How Do I Overcome Satan's Constant Attacks?

Posted on December 16, 2012 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

Welcome to the Transformed podcast.

Standing for Jesus takes a real man or woman of God. You can’t be a part-time Christ-follower, a “weekend warrior” for the faith of Jesus. Following Jesus is about a totally different lifestyle …and the lifestyle of purity, loyalty and integrity are demeaned on a daily basis from every side! How is anyone supposed to remain strong under such an assault?

In today’s episode, Dr. Matthew Lee Smith, Lead Pastor at Pacific Baptist Church in El Segundo, California will start this study by sharing the 4 critical understandings that are essential to preparing for the daily onslaught against the devil. He will then   show us that there are 7 constant activities that we must vigilantly maintain in order to overcome Satan’s Constant attacks.

As you can tell, this is a powerful and serious message. So, let’s open our Bibles to Ephesians 6 as we prepare ourselves to overcome Satan’s constant attacks …

 

 

As a result of this study, it is our sincere hope and prayer that you will experience victory over sin, self and Satan as you apply the Word of God to the very fabric of your life.
