The Lion’s Roar of Persecution is Getting Louder and Louder

Hello dear friends in Christ  🙂

I saw this post on another friend’s facebook wall and just had to share it.
It’s a quote from C.S. Lewis and the photo originated from the Focus on the Family website.

 

Amen, right? “The more savagely will Satan storm its fortress.”

Pretty much hits the nail on the head. I don’t know of one Christian friend of mine who is not going through some kind of spiritual attack right now.  Whether it’s a damaged personal relationship, a bully at work, a friend or family member’s betrayal, or even a church losing its first love.

I will always remember a comment a friend made to me a long time ago. It still makes a lot of sense. “When God is moving, satan attacks.” Ain’t that the truth?

 

The Roar of Persecution: Watchful and Alert

Scripture tells us in 1 Peter 5:8, English Standard Version (ESV): 

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

I do believe that satan has amped up the attacks on Christians. The worldwide slaughter of Christians is on the rise and equally terrifying to hear about.

The persecution against Christians in America is also increasing. Think about that. In America. And, it’s just going to get worse … for a time.

The roaring lion will not go down easy.

But, he (it) will go down.

Praise the Lord!

Christians know how all of this ends.

Take heart my brothers and sisters in Christ for He has overcome the world!

From Ephesians 6:10-13:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the

 schemes of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic

powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore take up the whole armor of God,

that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
