Summary

Scripture is clear that we struggle not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil at work in the world. But many Christians today live as if the supernatural realm does not exist. In this 6-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef explores the heavenly realms and reveals the real tactics Satan uses today in the invisible war to stifle our witness and keep souls far from Christ. Armed with a deeper understanding of the forces at play according to Scripture, you will learn to use the armor God has given you to rebuke the enemy and face tomorrow with confidence in Christ’s absolute victory.

0:00.0	This is a message from Dr. Michael Youssef, Bible teacher on leading the way.
0:06.5	Our prayer is that it will encourage you in your walk of faith.
0:10.0	And if you'd like to learn more about Dr. Youssef and the Ministry of Leading the Way,
0:14.1	the place to start is ltw.org.
0:30.3	Throughout the series of messages that I'm starting today, I'm going to reveal to you the powerful satanic deception, the invisible war, because it's invisible to most people, not to the believers. The satanic
0:40.6	deceptions that we are experiencing today is the same old tired formula that Satan used with
0:50.6	Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It's the same one. What he does? He just dress it in a
0:55.8	nice modern dress, and it looks new to the non-dissearning, to the unsuspecting. He disguised it as a new
1:05.0	thing, but it's not. It's just to mislead the simple. It's to misguide the confused. It is to misdirect the directionless.
1:16.1	Now, to show you how this is an old lie, I want you to look with me very quickly at Acts
1:23.2	chapter 20. The Apostle Paul is meeting with the leaders of the church in Ephesus, in the
1:30.0	city of Ephesus, just before he departed and went back to Jerusalem. Acts 2028, Paul's speaking to
1:38.0	these leaders in the church of Ephesus. I've been to Ephesus is now called Izmir.
1:45.6	Here's what he said.
1:54.6	Pay full attention. Pay full attention. Can you say those words with me?
2:03.5	Pay full attention. To yourselves. He's talking to the leaders. To yourselves, I wish so many Christian leaders,
2:10.9	those of us in leadership really take this to heart. And to all the flock over whom the Holy Spirit has given you oversight. To do what? To care for the Church of God, which, talking about Jesus, he obtained with his own
2:23.5	blood, he purchased with his blood. It's not our church. It's not some pastor's church. It's not some
2:32.3	preacher's church. It is the church of Jesus Christ.
2:37.1	He said, I know after my departure, fierce wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the
2:44.1	flock. And from among yourselves, in the churches, from among yourselves, were rise men speaking twisted
2:56.2	things to draw away the disciples after themselves. Not after Jesus, but after themselves.
