MORE THAN CONQUERORS SPIRITUAL WARFARE STUDY WEEK 4: THE LUST OF THE EYES
Recorded teaching releases at noon- WEDNESDAY 2/11/26
In Week 4 of More Than Conquerors, we confront one of the most subtle and culturally normalized tactics of spiritual warfare: the lust of the eyes!
This battle isn’t just about desire — it’s about focus, comparison, and misplaced longing. The enemy doesn’t always tempt us with what is evil; often, he distracts us with what looks good, feels promising, or appears fulfilling — drawing our eyes away from God’s provision and into dissatisfaction, envy, or illusion.
WHAT WE’LL COVER THIS WEEK
-What Scripture means by “the lust of the eyes” (1 John 2:16)
-How visual temptation fuels discontent, comparison, and covetousness
-How Satan used this tactic against Jesus in the wilderness-
-Why the eyes are a gateway to both faith and deception
-The difference between seeing through the flesh vs seeing by faith
-How to guard your vision in a culture built on constant comparison
This week exposes how easily we can be drawn away — not by rebellion, but by misdirected attention.
KEY SCRIPTURES
-1 John 2:15–17
-Matthew 4:8–10
-Genesis 3:6
-Hebrews 12:2
WHY THIS MATTERS
The lust of the eyes feeds: dissatisfaction with God’s timing, comparison with others’ lives, craving what God has not given, distraction from eternal perspective...
But Scripture reminds us: what we fix our eyes on shapes what we pursue. This week is about learning to see clearly again — not through culture’s lens, but through Christ.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Study handouts will be posted along with the recording when it is released.
The recorded teaching will be shared on YouTube, here on the website under the Spiritual Warfare branch- Video teaching Library, and in the Facebook group!
This is a go-at-your-own-pace study — pause, revisit, and reflect as needed
If you’ve ever felt pulled by comparison, tempted by what others have, or distracted from God’s presence by what’s right in front of you — this week will bring clarity, conviction, and freedom.
Fix your eyes on Jesus — and learn how to stand victorious.
