Have you ever gone through spiritual attacks so intense that it doesn’t feel like the enemy is backing down?
In a powerful teaching, Kathryn Krick shares some core ways to overcome the enemy’s attacks when it feels as though hell is winning.
One of the first things Krick points out is the power of God’s anointing in a person’s life.
“When you carry the anointing, the devil is so terrified of you,” Krick says. “When you’re a Christian who doesn’t carry the anointing, you are not a threat to the devil, and so you won’t face the same kinds of attacks that those who are anointed do.”
She made it clear that Satan despises all of humanity, but that there is a greater emphasis in the attacks on those who have accepted God’s call for a specific purpose.
“You will find a greater spiritual opposition when you are doing the work of God, carrying the anointing, bringing revival,” she says.

Krick also made it clear that God’s plans cannot be stopped by anything that the enemy throws your way. She points to Jesus as our ultimate example.
“God kept bringing victory, God kept opening up doors and He completed His assignment. He spread the Good News, He revealed Himself, He healed the sick, He cast out demons and He trained up the disciples…” Krick states.
One of the key ways Krick points out for believers to overcome the attacks of the enemy is to realize that Satan is the father of lies, the accuser of the brethren.
“His only power is lies,” she says. “Which aren’t powerful if you stand in the Truth, if you won’t give into the lies, if you can see right through [them]…if you can take the Word of God seriously, take equipping of the Word of God that you received seriously…the devil doesn’t have any kind of real power. It’s all a facade.”
She also shares how renewing the mind is a powerful way for Christians to become more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.
“Truth always prevails. Truth always wins,” she says.
Krick also encourages Christians with this truth: That God is faithful to His Word and faithful to bring everything He has planned to completion.
“It doesn’t matter what kind of opposition there is, God will make sure the devil’s plans fail,” she says. “This is God’s battle…so why are you stressing?”
“You were called to be the light in the darkness…that means some of this darkness is going to look like a lot of opposition…you are called to stand strong and shine your light, penetrate the darkness, and when you do that, it will conquer it. It will overcome it.
In a time when darkness seems to press in from every side, Krick’s message serves as a powerful reminder that what feels like overwhelming opposition is often confirmation of divine assignment. Scripture makes it clear that light and darkness cannot coexist (John 1:5), and the very resistance believers face is evidence that the light of Christ within them is advancing.
The enemy may roar, accuse and attempt to intimidate, but his power is ultimately hollow—defeated at the cross and stripped of authority over those who stand firmly in truth. When believers refuse to bow to lies and instead anchor themselves in God’s Word, they step into the victory that has already been secured.
