Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world” (1 Peter 5:8-9).
My friend, resist until you destroy the works of the devil. Overcome and dominate any situation he brings your way. We are not fighting against flesh and blood. We are not fighting against people but against the devil, our adversary, the devil who walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. So, you see, it’s not God who brings sufferings and trouble. It’s the devil.
If you don’t resist him, he will devour you. We should resist everything Satan is doing and refuse to take “no” for an answer. Friend, submit to God and resist the devil. Never give place to the devil. Don’t be ignorant of his devices. God has given us power to resist him. Those who do nothing, help the devil to accomplish his agenda. The Bible says resist him and he will flee. Again, the Bible says Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”
