In a day when society has in many ways placed itself under Satan’s rule, when Satanism is flourishing in Western nations, when certain branches of the church are preoccupied with “deliverance ministries,” and when others deny the devil’s existence, Fighting Satan is a sober, practical perspective on this vital subject. Joel R. Beeke states, “We must know our enemy. We must know how to withstand him and what spiritual weapons to take up against him.

How to Fight Satan is an important tool in our spiritual warfare against the devil. Christians often blame one another for conflict without realizing that it is Satan’s influence behind it all. In this book, Art Wooten teaches that if we are to be helpful to God in His work, we must acknowledge Satan’s temptations and be victorious in our daily struggles with them. Satan, of course, is constantly trying to pull us out of the spirit of God. For us to truly sin, we must cease walking in the spirit of God, for it is spiritually impossible to sin and walk in God’s spirit at the same time. When we receive the spirit of God, we receive the fruits of the spirit. We are reminded that, if we walk in the spirit of God, we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. The author urges us not to surrender to Satan’s attack. Each day, we must keep in mind that we are “On the battlefield for God.”
