   I love nature shows, especially the animals. The large cats are usually heard roaring when they are hungry, thinking of setting off on a hunt or challenging another cat over a potential mate or his territory. They are capable of great speed for a short time or distance then have to stop for rest. Their coloration helps them blend in with their surroundings. Snakes aren't the only animal who can fade away into the grass.

   We need to be vigilent, always remembering that Lucifer has lived several thousand years, some before he came to earth, so he has had more time to gather knowledge, cunning, wiles, deceit than mankind has. He's no weakling. The lion is one of natures strongest creatures. A lion moves silently through the grass or bushes concealed by them and his color. He slips on soft padded feet until as close to his prey as he can get then in a burst of speed he springs forth hoping to grasp the prey by the throat, no mercy.

   Satan will stalk the weakest or youngest in christ among us. The babes, the old or injured are the easiest targets. We need always to be on the lookout. I saw one nature show where a mother elephant picked up a "hungry" lion with her trunk and shook and threw him against a large rock. She showed him who was really king of the jungle. We have a "real" king of the jungle looking out for us also. When we are surrounded by the jungles hungry critters, He's more than a match for the hungry hunters and we are His kids He cares for. Good post, Bless you, Sis.

Love in Him,

Yes, the battle is on as much as ever. Unfortunately, most people today dismiss the evil one as an idea from times before our present day enlightenment!

Let us pray for all the non-believers.

Amen.

First, thank you for responding to my discussion on "The Battle is On!" Satan cannot attack God, so he attacks God's prized possession!  That is why we are forewarned to be on the alert when trials and darts attack us.  We must keep our spiritual self fed with the Word of God.  God bless...Pam Kohl

The power that he thinks he has comes from our fear of him.  He can only do what God allows him to do.  Remember Lucifer had to get permission from God to touch Job!  What a wonderful God we serve.  God knew Job's integrity, and he knew that Job would not deny Him.  Can we be trusted by God to do the same thing?

Yeah he is a wiley one for sure.

But he has no power of himself .

It really bugs him that he can not kill us.

He is a trickster and a muse.
