"Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith..." 1 Peter 5:8-9
I have been studying about the warfare we as Christians face. There are several facts I would like for you to know. 1. The battle is won and lost in the mind. 2. You can not fight something you can not see, feel, touch or understand. 3. Satan is a cruel warrior who plays despicably dirty. 4. Only Jesus Christ can defeat the enemy for you. Forewarned is Forearmed. Become aware of the tricks from your spiritual enemy and pray when you have spiritual vulnerable times. He is most vicious when your are most vulnerable, so spend time with the Lord before you face the trials. Cry out to the only one who can fight the spiritual battles for you. The one who has already defeated him once and for all is the only one who has the authority to rebuke him now. Resist Satan and Jesus Christ will make sure he will flee. Submit to him, and he will devour you.

Funny for the week: "Murphy's Laws of Law Enforcement"
To err is human, just do it in front of as few people as possible!
Anyone that flirts with you on-duty won't even recognize you off-duty.
The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
If your raid is going well, you're at the wrong house.
The one time you cuss on the radio, your Chief will be listening.
Anything that you do can get you shot - including doing nothing!
You will be decorated for stupidity, and busted for brilliant work.
Field experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Never respond to a "domestic" with anyone braver than you.
No one's idea is a good idea until it becomes the Chief's idea.
New uniforms and ties attract catsup and gravy.
You will never get the urge to use the bathroom until you have left the station.
Surprise inspections will only occur after you have been in a foot pursuit through mud.
The Mayor will get a traffic ticket the day before your department negotiates for a salary increase.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Also the harder they punch, kick and choke.
Never search a dark warehouse with a cop whose nickname is "Boom-Boom".
Pens never leak onto old uniform shirts.
To err is human, to forgive is against department policy.
Shatterproof flashlights seldom are.
If you park your patrol car in the exact center of the Gobi desert, within 5 minutes someone will pull up and ask for directions.
Glow in the dark sights are just as visible to you as they are to the crook hiding behind you.
Wearing white socks makes boot zippers break.
Coffee jitters will never bother you until firearm qualification day.
Flashlight batteries never die in the daylight hours.
Your mouthiest traffic violator will be related to the sheriff.
If the crooks are within pistol range, so are you.
The speed with which you respond to a fight in progress is inversely proportional to how long you have been an officer.
Perfect 10's only show up to talk when you are busy.
Bullet proof vests might be.
Old squad cars never die, they just smell that way.
How true, how true………. Chaplain Barnes
