– Scripture:

 Think! Has a truly innocent person ever ended up on the scrap heap? Do genuinely upright people ever lose out in the end?It’s my observation that those who plow evil and sow trouble reap evil and trouble. One breath from God and they fall apart, one blast of his anger, and there’s nothing left of them. The mighty lion, king of the beasts, roars mightily, but when he’s toothless, he’s useless No teeth, no prey—and the cubs wander off to fend for themselves.

                      Job 4:7–11

 – Reflection:

             The Enemy’s Broken Teeth

Lions are very territorial. One reason they roar is to invoke fear and intimidate and keep other animals off their territory. The same principle applies to our enemy, who “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” When you start to take new ground and go after your healing, your freedom, or your abundance, the enemy thinks that’s his territory, so you’ll hear the roar louder than ever. He’s hoping to intimidate you to where you turn back and don’t go after what God put in your heart. How many people hear the roar and give up on their dream, quit believing in their healing, or think they can never come out of debt? Have a new perspective.

Where do we go from here?

The roar is a sign that you’re moving toward what God promised. You wouldn’t hear the roar if you weren’t about to see favor and influence as you’ve never seen. You have to get in agreement with God and not the fear and doubt. Remember that He’s broken the teeth of the lion.

Our Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for this word that You have broken the enemy’s teeth on the cross and rendered the enemy powerless. Thank You that Jesus’ blood is more powerful than the devil’s lies. I’m going to stay in peace, knowing that nothing can keep me from an awesome future. You have for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
