God wants to release breakthrough on every level in your life! He wants to remove the limits and the things that would hinder your walk with God. I love this book by Ryan LeStrange! It exposes every plot and plan the enemy would try to bring against you. Knowledge is power, and when you know what the enemy is doing, you can overcome him completely by Gods grace and strength. Overcoming Spiritual Attack will help you discern when there is something operating in the spirit realm against you. When you have discernment, you have authority. You dont have to fight blindly. This book will empower you to overcome the spiritual warfare you are experiencing and give you the tools you need to overcome on a daily basis and live the abundant life Christ died to give you.

AUTHOR, POWER FOR LIFE
In his new book, Overcoming Spiritual Attack, my good friend Ryan LeStrange has cultivated a serious language and context for spiritual engagement. The body of Christ has needed an updated wineskin for spiritual warfare, demonic engagement, and power clashes for over two decades, and Ryan has released a fresh perspective on this end. As a committed student of spiritual warfare and the happenings of the spiritual world, I believe that Ryans book should be mandatory reading for anyone seriously considering a career in kingdom advancement through ministry. Spiritual attacks differ level to level, person to person, and reason to reason, and what Ryan provides us with is a clear word that gives us language for resistance and struggle as it pertains to spiritual battle and spiritual breakthrough. With excellent content this book is certain to give practical steps to otherwise complex truths and aids us with armor for breakthrough! In a season of unprecedented spiritual advancements in cities, this book is on time! I highly recommend it!

I have known Dr. Ryan LeStrange for more than twenty years, since he first came to attend New Life Bible College. He is called of God and gifted of God to preach and teach. We have been blessed to see how God has used him to bring His Word and power to the world. He has a strong foundation in the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit to back it up. His experience has taught him that every Christian at some point is attacked by the enemy and needs to be armed with weapons of victory. In his book Ryan discusses symptoms of a spiritual attack and strategies for freedom. This book, Overcoming Spiritual Attack, is an essential tool for the church today!

I dedicate this book to my beautiful wife, Joy LeStrange, who has always been by my side navigating both the rewarding seasons and the challenging seasons. I would not be the man I am without the support and encouragement of such an amazing woman! Joy is the fulfillment of Proverbs 18:22 in my life.
Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD.

CONTENTS
I WANT TO THANK my team of radical warriors who forge ahead in the call of God on their lives and ministries. Each person who is connected to me through my various ministries is so valuable and special. I am thankful for every one of you. I also thank Carol Puma and Eileen Hromin for their contribution in editing and reviewing my manuscript. I am blessed to run alongside a whole company of people who are plundering the gates of hell and opening wide the gates of the kingdom.
M ANY BELIEVERS WALK through life unaware of the evil forces that are working to steal their joy, kill their dreams, and destroy their families. They may never realize how principalities and powersand garden-variety demonsare influencing their thoughts, lobbing flaming missiles at their relationships, or attacking their bodies with sickness and disease. They often dont connect the demonic dots that would reveal the root of their circumstances and trials or catch on to how the wicked one is working overtime to wreak havoc in their lives.
