I love reading and studying Joyce Meyer books. She has a way of just touching your heart and getting right into the depths of any issues that you may have.
Coming out this month, Joyce is focusing on how to know our enemy and be more than a conqueror. Read on for my thoughts and review of this new book.
Your Battles Belong To The Lord by Joyce Meyer
Publisher: FaithWords (September 10, 2019)
ISBN-13: 978-1546026273
Synopsis:
Have you ever felt you tried every solution on earth to solve a problem, but nothing worked? Have you ever wondered where the difficulties you face are coming from? Joyce Meyer has answers.
In Your Battles Belong to the Lord, Meyer explains that while some problems may result from a person’s choices or circumstances, others are rooted in the spiritual realm. Once you recognize the devil–who is real and active in the world today–as your true enemy and the source of many of your struggles, you can overcome them and live a life of peace, freedom, faith and victory. When facing life’s battles, there are certain things you must do for yourself, such as:
- Diligently studying and applying God’s Word
- Trusting Him
- Praying
- Maintaining a positive attitude and thankful heart
But there are other things only God can do. When you do your part, God does His-and He is always ready and eager to defend you and help you.
Each chapter of the book helps you understand how the enemy operates and learn to counter his schemes and strategies so you can live at a new level of strength. Chapter titles include: “Know Your Enemy,” “Eliminate Fear,” “How the Devil Tries to Deceive People,” “Hold Your Peace,” “The Power of a Thankful Life,” and “Internal Rest.”
In this fresh approach to the subject of spiritual warfare, Meyer focuses not only on the nature and strategies of the enemy, but also on the power and love of God, who always defeats the enemy and leads you to triumph. No matter how difficult your challenges are, if you have God with you, you have all you need to win every battle.
Your Battles Belong To The Lord by Joyce Meyer Review
This is such an interesting book in that it focuses on understanding and recognizing who your true enemy is.
The enemy is the source of many of our struggles. We may not recognize that very easily. And in this book Joyce breaks down some of the ways that we can recognize the devil; chipping away at our confidence, our peace, our fear, and even in being completely assured that God is there for us and forgives us for all things.
Broken down into easy to read chapters, full of verses and stories that represent the message she’s trying to get across, this book is a wonderful study book.
She specifically calls out things that we need to look for such as the four promises that we need to pray every day. Working through our hindrances to reach answered prayers. Understanding that our prayers are answered on God’s time not our time.
There’s so many more points in this book. I had my highlighter out from chapter 1. She gets right into how to protect yourself and your belief and strengthen your beliefs.
This would be a great book for a study group and definitely one your entire family should read. I think it would be awesome to gift this to someone who’s not sure about their belief in God. Highly motivational and written with so much clarity and insight!
Five stars
