The second part talked about the schemes the devil uses, how to recognize them, and how to stand firm in your faith against them. The power of temptation is a stronghold you have that has taught you to live independent of God. There are three main temptations the devil uses lust of the flesh, the lust of eyes, and pride of life. Lust of flesh refers to physical appetite and gratification. Lust of the eyes refers to self-interest and test the word of God. Pride of life refers to self-promotion and self-exaltation. Satans other tools involve accusation when you cross the line of temptation. This book also explained the difference between conviction by the spirit and condemnation by the devil and how pride affects us and keeps us isolated from God.
The third section talked about how to walk free from the devil's influences. Freedom depends on what you believe, what to confess, forgive always, renounce bad influence, and forsake sin. Faith doesn't create the reality it responds to reality. So the more you know about God the bigger your faith. This section talked a lot about forgiveness, rebellion vs submission, pride vs humility, bondage vs freedom, and lots of prayers on different topics. Then how to help others find freedom as well.
This book was excellent! It really helped me to understand what tactics satan uses and how to defend myself against them. I recommend this book to Christians and Non-Christians as well to deepen their faith.
