Don't Engage on the Enemy's Terms

What if spiritual warfare isn't primarily about what the enemy is doing — but about who Jesus is? Graham Cooke unpacks the tactics of the enemy with clarity and humor, then lands on the principle that changes everything: don't engage on the enemy's terms. Caleb didn't shrink back from the giants because he was too busy marveling at the size of God. That's the mindset Graham wants us to carry into every conflict we face.


Key Scriptures:

+ 1 Thessalonians 2:18. "For we wanted to come to you — I, Paul, again and again — but Satan hindered us."

+ John 10:10. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy."

+ Colossians 2:14-15. "He canceled the certificate of debt... He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame."

+ 1 John 3:8. "The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil."

+ Isaiah 61:1. "He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound."
