{ Finding hope beyond the battle 1 Peter 5:8-11

“You can find hope beyond the battle; but you must be willing to fight.”

  Our Enemy   Our Response   Our Hope beyond the battle Outline

Our Enemy Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 1 Peter 5:8-9

I do not think you will have much difficulty in keeping the patient in the dark. The fact that “devils” are predominantly comic figures in the modern imagination will help you. Your enemy the devil…

If any faint suspicion of your existence begins to arise in his mind, suggest to him a picture of something in red tights, and persuade him that since he cannot believe in that (it is an old textbook method of confusing them) he therefore cannot believe in you. C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters Your enemy the devil…

He slanders “To make a false spoken statement that causes people to have a bad opinion of someone” He prowls “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14 Your enemy the devil…

The devil wants us to believe we are in the middle of an ocean without a life raft and no prospect of help. …looking for someone to devour

Our response Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 1 Peter 5:8-9

Be Alert “Be alert for anything that contradicts the Word of God.” Our response

Resist   Resist the temptation to disappoint Jesus   Resist the temptation of doing MY OWN THING!   Resist the temptation to doubt God’s word. Our response

…you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 1 Peter 5:9b Know you’re not alone and the family is praying Our response

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:10-11 Our Hope

The devil loses; WE WIN! And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ… Your latter will be greater than your former …after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. Our Hope
