#55 - Joby Martin // Lures, Hooks, and Billy Bass

Satan has a clear mission statement in Scripture: to steal, kill, and destroy, while Christ offers abundant life as our Good Shepherd who lays down His life for us. • The enemy wants to steal what's most valuable—your life, hopes, dreams, and family • Satan's goal isn't just to make you stumble but to completely destroy your testimony and joy • The enemy uses only three primary tactics: lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and pride of life • Every temptation works like a fishing lure—attractive but concealing a deadly hook • Lust of the eyes manifests as materialism and believing temporary possessions will fully satisfy • Lust of the flesh ranges from over-indulgence to addiction, all based on feeling entitled to pleasure • Pride of life begins with good intentions but evolves into self-promotion and status-seeking • Consider how your enemy would try to take you out, then war against those specific vulnerabilities • Victory comes through Christ, not by being passive but by actively fighting spiritual battles If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
