Satan is smarter than you alone. He knew the Word before the Word became flesh. He knew Jesus before Jesus became Jesus. I’m not saying he is smarter than Jesus…but he is smarter than you “alone”. So don’t be alone! Have Christ on you!…and other beside you!
God describes our enemies four ways—we are up against formidable spiritual rulers, authorities, cosmic powers, and spiritual forces. This enemy will use whatever he can to destroy anything of God … His creation, His will, His people. You. Me. No one is safe from his reach here on this planet even though God only allows him a short reach. We’ll talk more about that later. But for now, suffice it to say, evil is against you and will be until you die. But you can overcome evil because of Christ.
Satan is smarter than you alone. He knew the Word before the Word became flesh.
In 1 Peter 5:8, we see that satan prowls around like a roaring lion. Satan is a liar and always has been. He is not a lion. Christ is the roaring lion. Christ is the Lion of Judah. Christ is Aslan in C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia. The enemy is nothing like Christ. He is the absolute opposite of Christ. His power is not comparable to that of Christ. But his powers are not something you should go up against on your own. That is why you and I need the armor of God, each piece of which represents a major attribute of who Jesus Christ is and what He has to offer you.
The enemy “acts” like a lion. But Jesus Christ “IS” the Lion of Judah.
