What do you do when you are scared? wet your pants, run and hide, fight back, freeze, scream… you might be surprised at what the bible says… it says you sin! 

 

Gen. 4:7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

 

Luke 22:31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”

34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

 

 

Jesus even warned peter… but he didn’t listen he still sinned, why? Pride, arrogance, ego… men have these ever gotten the best of you? But the truth is he didn’t believe enough to be prepared for the attack. 

 

1 PETER 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

 

 

Be alert and sober - GK = don’t be caught up in a fantasy that it won’t happen to you but rather be prepared with a plan. 

 

 Seeking whom he may devour.--Perhaps still more expressive to say, "seeking which he may devour." Satan is eyeing all the Christians in turn to see which he has the best chance of, not merely stalking forth vaguely to look for prey… but waiting to see which one is not ready for an attack. 

 

What do I do when I get an attack by satan… usually it is in thought form. I have trained myself when a thought of bitterness, sexual temptation, Judgmental attitude - whatever - I have trained myself to pray immediately “Father thank you for victory over satan and thank you fro releasing your holy spirit on the lost so that they might know you and believe”.

WHY THIS PRAYER? BECAUSE IT GOES BEYOND A PRAYER OF DELIVERANCE… I HAVE ALREADY BEEN DELIVERED, IT GOES TO A PRAYER THAT IS ON THE OFFENSE, GOING AFTER SATANS TURF. 

 

Are you ready for his attack? If not you should be… he’s coming.
