Overview

The greatest enemy anyone faces is Satan, for he is the enemy of our souls. He desires to kill, steal, and destroy. He is behing the temptations and battles you face each day, and he is actively trying to cause you eternal harm. Fortunately, there is good news: Jesus Christ has already defeated Satan and the demons working on his behalf!

In Overcoming the Enemy, Charles Stanley sheds light on the nature of our enemy. He exposes many of the tactics and strategies Satan uses to bring heartache and sorrow. Stanley also shows you how to fight back using the weapons of spiritual warfare made available to us through Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Top Highlights

“The world. The world includes anything of a physical nature that might hinder us in our walk with Christ or might tempt us to sin.” (source)

“The only way to ensure that Satan does not gain an opportunity in our lives is to remain close to Christ Jesus and to seek to walk daily in the guidance and strength offered to us by the Holy Spirit. We must keep our resolve to say no to the temptation to sin, and to seek God’s forgiveness quickly anytime we fail to keep God’s commandments.” (source)

“The devil has disliked you from your birth, solely because you are a creation of God designed with a specific purpose, one that is ultimately for your good and God’s glory.” (source)

“We may lose battles against the devil from time to time, but we will not lose the war because we belong to Christ.” (source)

“The devil’s purpose is not simply to irritate us or make our lives difficult. His goal is to destroy us in the spirit realm. The devil will use whatever is made available to him as a toehold on which to establish his evil purposes. His ultimate goal is to totally annihilate us—physically, materially, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.” (source)

Charles Stanley, senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta and founder of In Touch Ministries, demonstrates a keen awareness of people's needs by providing practical biblical truths for everyday life. By 1982, In Touch Ministries was incorporated and began radio syndication. "In Touch" programs penetrated almost every major market in the United States during the 1980's, reaching more than one-million households with the message of Christ's sufficiency for life's demands. Stanley has also served two terms as president of the Southern Baptist Convention (1984-86) and first joined the NRB's board of directors in 1982.

In 1988, he was inducted into the National Religious Broadcaster's (NRB) Hall of Fame for the consistent excellence of his broadcasts and his leadership in the realm of Christian television and radio. Religious Heritage of America named him Clergyman of the Year in 1989, an award that recognizes pastors who strive to make Judeo-Christian principles part of America's daily life. In 1993, the NRB honored "In Touch" with the Television Producer of the Year award; and in 1999, with the Radio Program of the Year award. Just this year, Thomas Nelson Publishing recognized Dr. Stanley for selling more than 6.5 million copies of his books.

Dr. Stanley's messages tackle such issues as parenting, finances, personal crises, emotions, and relationships. Instructional teaching for personal spiritual growth focuses on prayer, the character of God, fellowship through the Holy Spirit, and the Person of Jesus Christ. Dr. Stanley fervently believes the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God, a belief strongly reflected in his teaching.

The goal of Dr. Charles Stanley is best represented by In Touch's mission statement: to lead people worldwide into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church. Dr. Stanley's heart's desire is to get the gospel to "as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, as clearly as possible, as irresistibly as possible, through the power of the Holy Spirit to the glory of God."
