I Talk Back to the Devil

I Talk Back to the Devil by A.W. Tozer is a book about the
fighting fervor of the victorious Christian. It is with this truth that we enter
into this study of Tozer's sermons.  In I Talk Back to the Devil,
Tozer says, "The highest that can be said of any creature is that it fulfilled the
purpose for which God made it." So what is holding you back from being all God wants
you to be? Are you still holding on to past sins? Do memories of your spiritual
failures haunt you? Or maybe you want to stay in control and not become one of those
"fanatical" Christians?  Tozer tells us "it is one of the devil's oldest tricks
to discourage the saints by causing them to look back at what they were." Indeed,
Satan has been in the business of intimidating and deceiving the people of God for
a very long time. Tozer himself felt attacked by the devil even as he prepared these
sermons.  But as we "press forward into maturity in Christ," we are armed with
great strength to engage in battle with that great adversary, the devil! We can
stand up to the devil and shout "I am a child of God! I will not take this any longer,
and I remind you that the forgiveness and cleansing I have freely received comes
from Jesus Christ!"
