The Devil As A roaring Lion

1peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

The scripture teaches us our adversary the devil is AS a roaring lion...........have you given thought to this?

What is the purpose of the roar from a lion.

What does this sound do?

He stalks quietly and patiently then he will announce himself with the sound of his roar. He seeks to instill fear into you to paralyze you, to cripple your walk. His roar will cause you to flee or stand still afraid to move. This allows him to set the battle in place if we run he chases until we are overcome with weariness and give in to exhaustion. If we panic and do nothing he devours us. His roar lets him know how to fight the battle depending on our response.

 

When The Devil Roars
When the devil roars he is seeking to establish his dominion in your life. He seeks to cause you to identify with his authority, submit to his rule, cower at his warnings, and thus this brings him satisfaction.

When we are feeling great despair,or overwhelming fear we can become very immobilized. But that is exactly what the enemy wants. He wants to take us off the working field so we cannot do the work of the Lord. As children of God, we must armor ourselves with the Word of God each and every day. When we read the His word daily, we are strengthened and a whole new world of hope and opportunity is opened up to us.

Remember this a ROARING lion cannot slip upon you, you hear his voice. He is setting his battle in array, thus this is the time to use our weapon against him.........The only weapon we have is the the pure undefiled word of GOD. Stand your ground and fight the good fight of faith lay hold on eternal life.
