"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8).
Satan, the avowed enemy of God and His people, has only one goal: to cause as much damage to the plan of God as possible. Learn what you need to know about your adversary—who he is, where he came from, and how to withstand him.

In the childcare centers I’ve worked in, I’ve seen some pretty incredible things. There were things I couldn’t believe were happening before my eyes. Children 3 and 4 years old attack one another and their teachers in their anger. They kick others in the head, shove, scratch, bite, spit—you name it—and at times they’re overtaken by a spirit of wrath, hatred and violence.
After Jesus heard about His cousin John the Baptist, being thrown into prison for telling the truth about Herod the Tetrarch’s sins, He came into the area beside the Sea of Galilee.
There He preached powerfully about God’s wonderful coming Kingdom of God on this Earth, as had been prophesied by the prophets of God for 4,000 years. (Jude 1:14-15, Daniel 7:18 Daniel 7:27)
Jesus told people they needed to repent of their sins and turn to loving God and living by God’s Commandments and laws of how to live. (Mark 1:14-15, Matthew 19:17)
