amazing

1peter 5:8

be of sober spirit, be on the alert. your adversary the devil prowls about like a roaring lion seeking someone he may devour.

ok so the fact that it says that he prowls about LIKE a roaring lion, makes me think. Isnt Jesus considered the lion and the lamb. the enemy is going to come in and disguise himself like something, someone that looks like Jesus. that is why he said be aware, be on alert.

1 peter 5:9

But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

he is going to come telling you of the easier way, the way that is good, good by your standards that doesnt involve pain right now. but in the long run it will. peter said knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by whom also live in the world. a couple of verses previous he is talking of the sufferings of Christ. warning us that we will suffer if we are living the way Christ tells us to live. dont be decieved, there is suffering either way in the world or for Christ. but there is grace and peace with Christ in vs 10 he tells us that after a while of suffering God comes with grace, and strength.

this is for me. im really enjoying what HS has been revealing to me. it is truth and there is freedom in it.
