The Nature Of The Battle
(Ephesians 6:10-12): There is no battle you can think of that can compare to the daily battle of spiritual warfare. Because this battle will affect everything and everyone in your life, Tony Evans wants to prepare you for the fight by taking a look at the spiritual solutions provided to us through Scripture.

The History of the Battle
(Ezekiel 28:11-19): The reason there are so many casualties in spiritual warfare is that we forget that we are in a constant battle. In this lesson, Tony Evans discusses the origin of this spiritual battle and how it came to be because of the judgment that Satan incurred.

The Expansion of the Battle
(Genesis 3:1-6): Just as a sports team visits a competitor's field, we are born into this world while Satan holds home-court advantage. Though Scripture says the whole world lies in the hands of the evil one, coming to Jesus Christ means you are born again into yet another world: the kingdom of God.

The Scope of the Battle
(Daniel 10:7-14): There are too many Christians who attend church on Sunday for something more resembling a party or a parade rather than learning how to go to war with the enemy. In this lesson, discover the four major areas in which Satan operates and how you can combat the enemy with warfare prayers.

The Basis of Authority
(Colossians 2:9-15): Where do we find authority to wage spiritual battles victoriously? Where can we go to find shelter from Satan's ever-present attacks? Tony Evans calls these questions of authority. In this lesson, learn how Jesus Christ has given you an authority under Him that you never knew to be possible.

The Agency of Authority
(Matthew 16:13-19): Some may believe that church is a building or a program, but Scripture calls it a community that believes Christ is Lord. In this lesson, learn about the spiritual authority that Christ placed in the church and how a church can legitimately exercise its role of influence in culture when placed under His authority.

The Weapons of Authority
(Ephesians 6:10-18): When soldiers are sent out on a mission, they are sent thoroughly equipped to ensure their success. God has also provided us with the tools we need to fight the spiritual fight. Discover the tools God has in store for you in this lesson.

The Access to Authority
(Ephesians 6:18-24): What good is any authority if you have no means of accessing it? Tony Evans wants you to know how to access the authority of heaven given to you. In this lesson, discover how, through prayer, you express dependency and gain access to God's authority.

Tearing Down Personal Strongholds
(James 4:1-12): When you begin to accept that a bad habit is unbreakable, you become trapped in what Tony Evans calls a stronghold. Many Christians believe that if they have a stronghold then they were meant to have it, but God wants you to break out of the grip holding you hostage and experience freedom.

Tearing Down Family Strongholds
(Genesis 3:8-21): Whether it's a paralyzed marriage or rebellious children, the enemy loves to create strongholds within the family. Learn what Satan uses to cause family strongholds and how you can cure them in this lesson.

Tearing Down Church Strongholds
(Revelation 1-3): As Satan seeks to create strongholds in individuals and families, he also seeks to hold the church hostage. Learn how strongholds reduce God in the congregation to cause little authority and little passion to manifest.

Tearing Down Community Strongholds
(1 Timothy 2:1-8): Community strongholds are everywhere to be found: the government, the education system or even in major corporations. Because the problems you see in society all have a spiritual dimension to them, Tony Evans says resolution can only be achieved through unity and a focus on God at the center.
