Like Roaring Lion...BEWARE!

March sure has come in like a lion. The Word tells us that satan is like a roaring lion who is walking about the earth looking for people he can destroy with sin. Satan's "life"s mission is to take with him as many people as he can to hell.When God asked him what he had been up to he replied...."Walking up and down the earth". This means that he CANNOT be everywhere at the same time like God can. Satan is a CREATED being. He was brought into being by God the Father. He was the most beautiful angel ever made. His name even means "Morning Light". This beautifulness became sinfulness for Lucifer. He let pride into his ...for a lack of a better word....into his life. That pride developed into hatred for his creator God. He wanted everything that was given to God. he wanted the praise, the worship and the power of God and he intended to take it from God.
   We are told that God cast Satan and his followers from heaven down to the earth. here is where they live. Contrary to a lot of belief , they are NOT in hell yet. Because Satan said theat he was "walking to and fro uoin the face of the earth." I believe that there is a place that he has carved out as his lair, but it is not hell yet as we would think of it as hell.
  Hell was never intended for human beings. God made hell for Lucifer and his followers as a punishment for their rebellion. The old devil does not want to live there eternally, even though he knows what will happen in the end. He is fighting with all he has to take as many people with him.
   Children of God are his enemies. We are the ones who stand in the gap for our lost loved ones. We are the ones who know how to get ahold of God when we go before Him and pray. It maybe our prayers that keep someone from falling. The devil uses all kinds of things against us...why just Christians....or whay does it seem like it is only Christians who the devil bothers? it is because non-Christian's BELONG to him already. Why would he bother someone who he already has under control?
   Our ONLY hope lies in Jesus Christ. He is our LIGHT, our SALVATION, our HELP in a time of need.  Jesus has conquered the grave. He has broken the chains of darkness that bound us in our sinful nature. Once we give our lives to Jesus, and live for Him, the enemy tries to come in like a flood and destroy what Jesus has given to us. Peace. Life everlasting. A grand inheritance.
  Oh soul, do you know Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior? If you do not, now is the time to ask Him into your life, Ask Him to forgive you of your sin...ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.... Live as if He is coming back in the next breath you take because He just might come back then. We are to look up for His returning at all times.
