I love this book. It's completely helpful to anyone that may struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, and stress. It makes you focus on "not sweating the small stuff". I love how joyce explains things and gives great examples. It's a must read.

Joyce Meyer has always been good at presenting the Bible in a practical way so that her readers can apply it to their daily lives. Here she does it again, providing sound advice and revelation on how Christians can use the tools God has already given us to put the devil in his rightful place and live our daily lives in victory. This is a short book, but it is packed with valuable information. Here are a few quotes:

"The devil doesn't know what to do with a person who is willing to put others before themselves as a service to God."

"Pray at all times because prayer opens the windows of heaven and closes the gates of hell. It is the difference between victory and defeat."

"Obedience is one of the most important keys to keeping the devil underfoot. He cannot defeat an obedient believer who has firmly placed their trust in God."

Anyone who wants to enhance their spiritual walk will benefit from this book.
"If you dig in your heels and determine that Satan is not going to get his way, it won't take long for you to begin to see radical changes in virtually every area of your life."

I'd read other books by Joyce Meyers, so I wasn't surprised by her style and insight, still this book contained many ideas I found new and easy to embrace. Ms. Meyers has a way of breaking down complex issues that is surprising and endearing. Even though she is adept at making biblical concepts understandable, she doesn't come across as "preachy" or even folksy. She just tells it like it is.

On a spiritual note: This book is not for folks who are looking for a warm and cozy read. The book will push your buttons, make you shout for joy one minute and tick you off the next. It will stretch you spiritually, though, and that's reason enough to read it.

Kudos to Ms. Meyers for another good book.

Worth it ! Worth it ! Esp when going through a season of spiritual warfare.Often times we forget the authority Christ has given us,he has given us all the authority to put the devil under our feet.This book talks about that.I don't know why Joyce gets a bad rap,but I love her style and insights.

Practical, Really Works and Truthful!❤️

This book is another masterpiece where the Biblical Truth is condensed to give you practical ways to defeat your enemy and have victory over the devil. I recommend this book to anyone who truly and faithfully wants to experience the life the Living God wants to give us through His son Jesus Christ.🙏

Joyce just has this way of keeping it real! This book was very much needed for myself!

Joyce knows how to relate to the real world and what is really going on then applies scriptures that apply to our every day life! She connects with us and at same time keeps it real!

Buku yang tipis tapi berikan banyak makna. Yang paling saya ingat dari buku ini adalah berhenti pikirkan terlalu banyak hal, jaga sukacita dan persiapkan Firman sebagai pedang melawan iblis. Joyce meyer berhasil menciptakan bahan bacaan yang tajam.

Helped Me Alot

I loved reading this book. I was facing spiritual attacks at my workplace from coworkers. I read this book, took plenty of notes, decided to fast and pray during the reading of the book and I am so thankful to God for the outcome. This book is amazing. More importantly God speaking through his children to others through Christian books, full of God’s word is more amazing. Read this book! It’s a must have.

This was a great quick read. She provides helpful tips such as praying without ceasing and suggesting the devil is behind some of the negativity and pessimistic thinking in one's life. I found it helpful.

fast read if you skip the Scriptures accompanying the text.

"Many times we have major problems in our life simply because we won't get up and do what we need to do." That's my problem I am trying to overcome.
