A Lion On The Loose 1 Peter 5:8-9 NKJV 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. I. A Lion On The Loose II. Satan’s Identity “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” (Eph. 6:12, ESV). III. Satan’s Strategy John 10:10, ESV Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” IV. Satan’s Territory V.
