"If you truly understand who you are in the Lord Jesus Christ, Satan will come. He has ways that he goes about doing things. Know who you are, and that'll take you a long way."

He also shares practical advice on using praise as a powerful tool to fend off Satan's attacks, even when life gets tough.
