Overcomer Bible Study Guide: Live a Life of Unstoppable Strength, Unmovable Faith, and Unbelievable Power
In this six-session Bible study, bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah turns his insights to one of the most quoted but least understood passages of the the apostle Paul's admonition in Ephesians 6:10-18 to take up the whole armor of God. With his signature depth, wisdom, and compassion, Dr. Jeremiah explores the powerful relevance of spiritual armor as a critical tool in our daily living as we confront the challenges in our lives and of our time. He reveals how God has given us, his followers, the tools we need to live a life defined not by our trials but by our victories.
This study will serve as a practical guide for how we can live each day in the strength that God provides as we equip each piece of spiritual armor. Although we all live in a time of deep uncertainty, the Bible promises we can live the life of freedom that God intended--even in times when the world seems filled with darkness. We were created to be overcomers, conquering the greatest obstacles in our lives.
It is time to find renewed strength and claim the promises of God's Word to overcome life's greatest threats. It is time to claim our victory in Christ an be an overcomer.

About the author
David Jeremiah
801 books875 followersDr. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, felt God’s calling on his life at a very early age. Born February 13, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio, Dr. Jeremiah was raised in a family deeply committed to ministry. At the age of eleven, Dr. Jeremiah and his family moved to Dayton, Ohio where his father, Dr. James T. Jeremiah, was the Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, and in 1953 became the President of Cedarville College in Cedarville, Ohio.
As Dr. Jeremiah was sensitive to God’s leading in his life, he followed in his father’s footsteps. In 1963, Dr. Jeremiah received a Bachelor of Arts from Cedarville College. In that same year, Dr. Jeremiah married his college sweetheart, Donna Thompson who also was attending Cedarville College as a business major. He went on to earn a Masters degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1967. He completed additional graduate work at Grace University and was granted the Doctor of Divinity degree from Cedarville College in 1981.
In 1969, Dr. Jeremiah began Blackhawk Baptist Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and developed a Christian school grades K through 12. In the 12 years he served as pastor, Blackhawk Baptist Church grew from 7 families to 1300 members. He also launched The Bible Hour television program.
Dr. Jeremiah heeded God’s call, and in 1981 he and his family moved to California where he became the senior pastor of Scott Memorial Baptist Church, now Shadow Mountain Community Church.
Shadow Mountain Community Church is one of the largest churches in San Diego County. It is also the home of Southern California Seminary and Christian Unified Schools.
As Dr. Jeremiah began his ministry at Shadow Mountain, he felt God’s calling to continue the broadcast ministry he started in Fort Wayne. In 1982, Turning Point Ministries became a reality.
Today, Turning Point's 30-minute radio program is heard nationally and internationally on over 1800 stations and translator/satellators. In recognition of Dr. Jeremiah’s commitment to teaching the Word of God, he received the Broadcaster of the Year Award in 1999 from the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), in August 2002, received the Award of Merit from the Western Chapter of National Religious Broadcasters for Excellence in Broadcasting and Faithfulness in Service, and in 2006 Turning Point received the Best Radio Teaching Program Award. Dr. Jeremiah has served on the Board of Directors for the NRB since 1996.
Turning Point launched a television program in 1982 in San Diego and went nationwide in 2000. Now seen around the world through cable and satellite technology, as well as on terrestrial stations all across the United States, conservative estimates suggest that close to 200 million homes around the world have access to Dr. Jeremiah's Bible teaching each week. Turning Point Television offers a half-hour Bible study message and a full hour worship service with the same great preaching. Carried on several national and international networks such as TBN, ION, and INSP, Turning Point Television has most recently been added to Middle East TV Network and BET, the Black Entertainment Network.
Dr. Jeremiah is a sought-after conference speaker for organizations around the country. He frequently speaks at Cedarville College, Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, Billy Graham Training Center, Phil Waldrep’s Senior Adult Celebrations and numerous NFL, NBA and Baseball chapels.
Along with his speaking schedule around the country, Dr. Jeremiah also finds time to fulfill another passion in his life, writing. His books are always gripping and right to the point. Some of his books include Escape the Coming Night, The Power of Encouragement, What the Bible Says About Angels, Prayer The Great Adventure, which brought him The Gold Medallion Award in 1998, God In You, Gifts from God

Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that when Satan attacks we may not have time to google an answer or phone a friend for spiritual advice. We must be prepared.
Based on Ephesians 6:10-18, Dr. Jeremiah says,
"Satan wants to keep you from God’s strength. He’s after your honesty, your heart and your righteous life. He wants to fill you with anxiety and with doubt. He longs to confuse your mind.
He loves to tempt you to sin. He hates it when you pray."
Each chapter contains stories of men and women who overcame adversities. Some of those mentioned are some of my favorites: King David, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Desmond Doss. There are also voices from today including Chip Ingram, Max Lucado, and John MacArthur.
I’ve been telling my husband how amazed I am to discover something valuable on almost every page. I guess I’ve intrigued him because he’s reading the book now.
Although a Bible study has been made to go along with the book, the book itself is not set up as a Bible study.
However, almost every page contains one or more scripture. I’m not talking about a light mention either. It’s discussed in detail and in an easy-to-understand way.
Dr. Jeremiah also shares interesting information about biblical times. One example he uses when discussing David and Goliath, is about the ancient armies and their three kinds of warriors: the cavalry, the infantry, and the slingers.
He includes comments from experts such as those from a ballistics expert with the Israeli Defense Forces who did tests showing how a stone could easily knock down a person.
I find side notes like this interesting and educational.
Even though he’s published numerous books, this is the first book I’ve read written by Dr. David Jeremiah. I find Overcomer to be encouraging and helpful to spiritual growth. The content is presented in a fresh way. My husband is reading it now. When he finishes it, I plan to give it to my teenager to read. And then, I want to read it again. I highly recommend it.
I received a free book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
