Greetings! As I consider these instructions, I think it is more difficult to be as innocent as doves in the midst of "wolves!" But as to the ways of a serpent . . . think about how a snake behaves. First of all, although we often see them passively coiled while sunning themselves, they are aggressive. They have senses that are adapted to locating their prey and possess the ability to "bring it down" As believers, we have this ability too in the form of God's Word and the indwelling Holy Spirit. And yes, I believe that just as the serpent must go after his prey, so must we, at the direction of God, take a stand against the enemies of the Gospel. I hope this helps - why not do a "Google" search on snakes and see what other characteristics they possess that God might want you to learn from? mommapbs |

Mommapbs, thanks for your response. Until last week, I stayed away from this scripture because I did not fully understand. I also kept my distance because I would hear others use it as though they had authority. Whatever the reason, it did not resonsant in my spirit what I was hearing. Then, last week, I couldnot let this scripture go. In fact, I kept cross reference with the scripture in Luke 10:19. I believe those subsequent verses helped me and then, I felt someting within and began this search and inquiry to see if I am on the right path. Thanks so much this means alot. God Bless and Keep You | ||||||
