There are times when we get knocked down and laid low in life. It might be from a disease…an accident of some kind…a divorce…a death in the family…or a pile of bills we can’t pay. Those are times when we need to get a good look at our enemy and recognize who he is so we can conquer him.
Jesus said, The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (John 10:10 NKJV). Have you had something stolen from you? Do you feel as if your life is going down the tubes? That’s the work of the devil, the “thief” coming against your life!
The Bible gives a good description of who is tormenting you. First Peter 5:8 AMP says, Be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. Now do what verse 9 says to do: Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset—rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined]. That’s the action to take to defeat the devil.
