1 Peter 5:8 8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
The devil cannot just walk right up to you and rob you of your health,
peace or family. He cannot just come into your life to enforce disease and
destruction.
If the devil can do that, then he does not have to walk about “seeking whom he
may devour”. He only has to walk straight up to anyone he wants to devour and
devour him! But since the Bible says that he goes about seeking whom he may
devour, the truth then is that there are people whom he cannot devour.
You see, the devil goes about like a roaring lion trying to stir up fear in people
with his roars. But the people who are not devourable are those who refuse to
be intimidated by his roars because they know that the true Lion of Judah, Jesus
Christ (Revelation 5:5), has already come and rendered powerless him who had
the power of death. (Hebrews 2:14, NASB) They know that the devil cannot just
do anything to them because the Lion of Judah resides in them, and that He is
greater than the devil who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
My friend, the Lion of Judah is in you. He has given you rights, privileges,
authority and power. He redeemed you with His blood. Therefore, everything
about you and your life is redeemed by His blood. So if you are fearful about
losing your job, cover your job with the blood of Jesus. If you are worried about
your children’s safety in these days of terrorist attacks, plead the blood of Jesus
over them. If you have received a bad report from the doctor, speak the blood
over yourself.
Whatever you have covered with the blood of Jesus, God declares, “Protected!
Redeemed!” And the devil flees when he sees the blood. And when he flees, he
takes with him sicknesses, diseases, pains, sufferings, destruction and loss.
Once the devil knows that you know who you are in Christ and what you
have in Him, his days of intimidating you are over, and you are numbered among
the undevourable!
