Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

You know the fact is we're all in this great drama that began many years before and will continue many years after we die.

This drama is very real.

It's the story of a conflict between the two most powerful beings in the universe, God and Satan.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

In the Bible, there is a being who's known by many names, the tempter, the serpent, the father of lies, the prince of this world.

But most of us just know him as Satan.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress exposes the invisible war that Satan is waging on every follower of Christ.

My series is called The Divine Defense.

In our day-to-day struggles with repeated sin and failures, doubts and temptations, feeling like a victor is certainly a rare accomplishment, not to mention the times in which we live.

Gender confusion, inflation, social upheaval, these are frightening times and the enemy locks it that way.

But God has left us a battle plan to turn the tables on Satan.

I've written a best-selling book that complements this study.

Like the series, my book is also called The Divine Defense, and a copy of jurors when you give a generous gift to support the growing ministry of pathway to victory.

I'll say more about the book later, but right now let's get started with the first message in this series.
