Soul Snack S9/17 ... The bite of satan - 3
“The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan. He was hurled to earth." Rev 12:9
The removal was abrupt. Extensive force was used. A safe heaven would mean permanent sanctuary. Yet, now this most angry evil enters Eden.
Losers pursue revenge. Satan is the eternal loser. Motivated by injured pride and eternal hatred, he attacks now in Eden. Unable to reach the father, he pursues His children. He pursues by deadly stealth.
He bites with deep pain. The bite is an exceptionally efficient delivery system of poison. Venom is quickly in the veins. A life is claimed. Perfection is poisoned. The lush garden is soon brown.
Battle grounds are always bleak places. Yet this is no mere enemy. His stealth is cunning. In disguise he deceives, he accuses and he condemns.
A foothold quickly becomes a playing field. The evidence of the battle is clear in broken relationships, shame and fear. There is self indulgence and self loathing. There is pride, rebellion and unforgiveness. There is greed, hatred and ambition. Each is venom to my soul. Each are fang marks to my soul.
Daily I'm bitten. Daily I'm attacked. But God still wins! Don't accept these bites and satan will soon move to an easier target. ‘Submit yourselves to God. Resist satan and he will flee' James 4:7 Copyright 06
