Standing firm!

Good Morning! 1Peter 5:8 Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. We talked about this the other night in my Mens group. You know satans main job is to steal, kill and destroy. He wants to steal our Joy and Kill our relationship with God through sin and Destroy our chance at Eternal life with God by again stealing our soul through sin. This is his job, this is all he does. Our adversary Satan, is personal, aggressive, intelligent, cunning and destructive. That is why in Vs 9 it tells us, Resist him,standing firm in the faith. Just as the bows and arrows used in warfare centuries ago are useless against todays highly sophisticated weapons, so it is if we try and stand up to satan on our own. Just as time has advanced,so has Satan in his tactics against Christians of Faith! Our greatest road block to satan and his destructive efforts is a Christian who above all else lives for God, walks with integrity, is filled with the Spirit and is obedient to Gods truth. That is why it is so important for us Christians to keep up our daily devotionals. Try and live a clean, honest and humble spirit filled life. And to trust and have faith in God that he will protect us morally, physically and spiritually. And in all we do proclaim the name of Jesus to all we see and in all we do. Satan cannot stand this, cause he knows Jesus is the one person he has no power over and cannot beat. So today stand firm in your Savior Jesus Christ cause he is the one who tamed the Lion! HABD!
