Scripture:
1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV)
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
Understanding:
JESUS CHRIST warns me to stay watchful because the devil is real and seeks to deceive and trap people. JESUS CHRIST came to set the captives free and has given those who believe in HIM authority to stand against the enemy. I must not live carelessly or believe the lie that spiritual battles do not exist. Instead, I will hold firmly to the truth, obey GOD’S Word, and depend on JESUS CHRIST every day.
Application:
I will remain alert and examine my life according to GOD’S Word. I will reject deception, forgive others quickly, resist temptation, and trust JESUS CHRIST instead of following the ways of the world. I will continue to seek the truth and walk in obedience to JESUS CHRIST.
Prayer:
In the name of JESUS CHRIST… Lord JESUS. Keep me watchful and make me recognize every deception of the enemy. Fill me with YOUR truth and wisdom. Make me to obey YOUR Word, resist the devil, and walk faithfully with YOU every day. I pray all this in the name of JESUS CHRIST. Amen.
Additional Prayer
When I am in fear, anger, anxiety, or worry, I call the name of JESUS CHRIST and the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST many times until the fear, anger, anxiety, and worry go away. And I receive peace of mind from JESUS CHRIST.
Then, by the grace and mercy of JESUS CHRIST, I am able to do what is right in JESUS CHRIST.
I encourage you to call the name of JESUS CHRIST and the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST many times. Let’s do it together:
