Be Sober, Be Vigilant

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (I Peter 5:8 NKJV). Our enemy, satan himself, is always out to stop the believer from receiving a greater faith. He is after those who are easy prey, those who struggle in their walk with Christ. Scripture says, satan is like a roaring lion that is walking about and seeking whom he may devour. He roars in order to intimidate and place fear in the believer's heart. He never stops. He is ever so seeking to find a child of God to devour on. He comes in subtly with a little temptation here and there, trying to stop the believer's faith in Christ. When one is trapped by the devil, he will accuse and point out every fault in them and bring condemnation to the believer. He does this in order to break the believer and draw them away from Christ and the cross. Satan wants to get them alone so he can be the voice to their hearts. I have been there before, and the only way out of the devil's trap is through the blood of Jesus Christ. Christ is merciful, loving, and has a forgiving heart. When the devil doesn't want to stop, we too must not stop believing that Jesus defeated satan and his darkness at Calvary's Hill. Arise under the blood of Christ, for our sins have been washed away. We are all covered by the blood covenant Jesus made with God the Father. We just have to believe and have faith in the finished work at Calvary. There is power in the blood of Jesus. God bless you. Amen
