There's this prevailing belief that because I Peter 5:8 declares he is a lion, prowling about, seeking who he may devour, that we, believers, better watch out or he'll get us!
Let's start here if we could please: HE MAY NOT DEVOUR A BELIEVER. Not if you don't render yourself vulnerable to him.
He can only TRY to deceive you into believing he can torture you, torment you or oppress you. He can try to bully you into believing he can do these things, but if you are a blood bought child of the Living King, he really can't do these things to you.
He does prowl about. He is seeking for those he MAY devour, but you are not one of those.
Colossians 1:13 He (Jesus) has DELIVERED US from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of is love.
That's where we stand. Delivered from.
One simple principle is the hinge upon which that truth WORKS for you. James 4:7
Submit to God.
Resist the devil.
and he will flee!!
No wiggle room, no negotiations, no exceptions.
Knowing what God says makes all the difference - and what you need to know most He put in a book for you. Your very own MANUAL ON LIFE.
Thanks God - we needed that!!
