MY FAVORITE PASSAGES SESSION 4 SEPTEMBER 13,2015 1 PETER 5:1-10 HUMBLING OURSELVES:THE KEY TO FAVOR AND PROMOTION Review: The surprising test of humility (1 Peter 5:6, 7 If I carry my worries, I am acting like I am in control and I can make the end result turn out just right! I am saying that I am Lord over my situations! Handling my own cares makes me very attractive to the devil! Be spiritually sober! Under the influence of The Holy Spirit. Be spiritually active. Stir your spirit with worship, prayer, the Word, fellowship with other strong believers! Our adversary .... Who he is and is not. Diabolos Roams .... Mobile, not omnipresent Like .... As if .... Roaring Lion, seeking to devour (your destruction is his agenda)

Resist!! Be aggressive, not passive, and not absorbed with the devil and his activities!! Look at Jesus example! (Matthew 4:1-11) (See also Philippians 4:5-7 and Ephesians 6:10-18)
