“Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Stand against him, firm in your trust, knowing that your brothers throughout the world are going through the same kinds of suffering.”
1 Kefa (1 Pe) 5:8-9 CJB
Even though Christ’s decisive victory over Satan is complete, we need to acknowledge our own role in enforcing that victory through prayer and spiritual warfare.
We face a very real enemy: Satan, whose name means “adversary.” Since he knows that Christ is our only hope of deliverance from his kingdom of darkness, this foe is bent on preventing men, women and children from embracing the good news of salvation.
If we believers are to fulfill Christ’s command to take the gospel to every creature, then we must give of our talents and treasure to further that cause. But we also must commit quality time to give ourselves to prayer and spiritual warfare on behalf of others.
