In this part of the series on the diabolic wars, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores practical ways to overcome spiritual attacks using principles from His Holiness Pope Shenouda’s teachings. Fr. Matthias explains that victory over the devil comes not by human strength alone but through prayer, fasting, faith, humility, wisdom, and accountability. He emphasizes the importance of actively resisting temptation, recognizing the devil’s presence, and commanding him away with the authority given by Christ.

Fr. Matthias also discusses how Scripture and personal experience deepen our ability to fight sin and highlights the benefits of spiritual warfare, including growing humility, strengthening prayer, fostering compassion, and preparing for the heavenly kingdom. He encourages believers to rely on God’s power to overcome and to view these challenges as opportunities for spiritual growth and faith.
