Listening and speaking to God.Prayer is communication. It is not a formula that we have memorized, or an empty repetition of words and phrases, but our conversation with God–with us first speaking and then listening to what God has to say to us in return.However, as Dr. Charles Stanley reveals in Deepening Your Prayer Life, our prayers go beyond mere human interaction in that it gives us access into the very throne room of God. Our heavenly Father grants us the privilege to come before him with authority because of our position in Christ.

Defeat the devil every time he attacks.Many people today believe the devil does not exist. They think he is merely an ancient myth or a metaphor to explain the presence of evil in our world.

That’s the bad news…But as Dr. Charles Stanley explains in Overcoming the Enemy, the good news is that Jesus Christ has already defeated the devil—utterly, permanently, and irrevocably. While this does not mean we will never be confronted with his evil, we have the promise that in Christ we will always have the victory over him.With over 1 million copies sold, the Charles F.
