An Analysis Of Peter's Letter To The Devil

I know this message is for somebody, because recently the Devil has been fighting me to deliver it. So let’s dive right into the word, Peter says “In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to the Lord” Peter this is your verse, Peter is a little older now, He has that citizen discount swag going on in this letter. He has the AARP swag. “And all of you clothe yourself with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud, but shows favor toward the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind because your enemy the Devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Thoughts of worthlessness or anxiety. Peter’s main point is that satan’s main attack often manifests itself in an overwhelming sense of anxiety.
