"STAY ALERT! Watch out for your great enemy the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour."
If you do not believe in the devil, then you probably do not believe in God. That means that the devil is winning when it comes to your life. Non believer's ridicule the idea of the devil, do you? The Word of God and the One Truth Today tells us that there is a devil and he is your enemy and he wants to devour you and cause you to die. Jesus Christ mentions the devil on many occasions and the Lord believes that the devil exists, shouldn't you? The devil is the enemy of God and wants to be God. He is a fallen angel who has been expelled from heaven and will spend eternity in Hell with all of his minions and those who serve him. The devil is cunning and deceitful and the father of all lies. He wants to lead you to eventual death. STAY ALERT!
The devil is the enemy of God, but more importantly he is your enemy. He knows he is winning if you do not even believe that he exists. That is part of the devils plan, to make you doubt the Word of God. The devils lies include telling Eve that "surely you would not die' if you took of the tree of knowledge. Has the devil deceived you also? If you have the Lord Jesus Christ in your heart and life then you will be able to discern and understand the plan of the devil. You will learn to resist the devil and to flee from him. The Word of God helps us STAY ALERT!
The image of the devil prowling around the earth, roaring like a lion, and looking for someone to devour is powerful. Until the Lord returns the devil will never stop lying and trying to deceive man. He will look for the weak and vulnerable. He wants to find those whose belief and faith in the Word of God is weak. They are the most vulnerable. Non believer's have no defense to the devil and succumb to many of his tricks. As a believer you know of the existence of the devil and are aware of his lies and tricks. You have to defend you the Lord and His Word. Stand firm and resist the devils temptations. With the Lord and His Word as our defense, the devil will flee from us! STAY ALERT!
