Satan is not a myth, nor a metaphor—he is a real and relentless adversary bent on destroying the Church and deceiving the world. In this bold and timely series, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the schemes of the devil and equips believers to stand firm in the victory of Christ. Through the inerrant Word of God, you will learn to recognize the enemy’s tactics, shut the gates he uses to gain access, and walk daily in spiritual authority. This is not a call to fear—but to fight. Discover how to resist the devil, intercede for the lost, and live as more than conquerors through Jesus Christ, our risen Lord.

In this urgent opening message of Know Your Real Enemy, Dr. Michael Youssef sounds the alarm to every believer: You are in a war—an invisible, spiritual war—and your real enemy is not your spouse, your pastor, or your fellow church member. It is Satan. Drawing from Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14, Dr. Youssef exposes Satan’s origin, his fall through pride, and his ongoing mission to destroy God’s work by infiltrating the Church through prideful hearts and unguarded lives. Christians must not be ignorant or passive. Every open door—anger, lust, jealousy, bitterness—must be bolted daily by the power of Christ. Only through vigilant repentance, surrender, and the authority of God’s Word can we resist the devil’s schemes and walk in the victory already won in Christ.
