Message 7: Know Your Enemy

Message 7 was entitled “Know Your Enemy” (1 Peter 5:1-11). This sobering message was to alert us to the nature of Satan and how he works to prowl on those who are weak or young in the faith, just as roaring lions would prey on the weaker (young and sick animals) prey when hunting. The main mode of attack is to tempt us to succumb to the sin of pride. The only effective antidote for such attacks is to constantly check our hearts, to be clothed in humility and to quickly build our faith by having a good understanding of Scriptures. Satan himself is the expert in pride, as this was his undoing, thinking that he could usurp God.
