1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Notice the KEY word here in this verse of scripture ( May ) may means = permission!

The enemy can only devour us IF we let him, we have to give him permission in order for him to do whatever he wants to do to us, which we all know, he does not want us to have any victory, joy, peace, health, or blessings ; he wants us defeated!

The WORD says: Eph 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
