How the Devil Attacks Before God Uses You
Summary
David Deegan-Hernandez explores how spiritual attacks often precede divine breakthroughs, using Jesus’ wilderness temptations as a framework. He identifies four enemy strategies: attacking identity, exploiting fleshly cravings, pressuring for performance, and offering power through compromise. Listeners are urged to resist these traps by securing their identity in Christ and prioritizing intimacy with God over worldly validation or shortcuts to success.
