Killer in the Coop!

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 NIV.

Last week brought frustration. I own a mini ranch and protect livestock. I never killed until I owned animals. I use friendly traps. I can’t do this with snakes. Kick them out, and they keep coming back.

Yesterday my chickens were cackling. There was a coyote. I ran outside and chased it off. The thought haunted me. I might have to protect my livestock and dogs from this predator. I encountered a rabid coyote in the past with my mastiff. I stood between it and my dog, then chased it off.

I struggle with any killing. I expressed this to my wife. She told me a friend had a spiritual similitude on this. The coyote represents the enemy. He prowls, looking for someone to devour. We must remove the threat before he steals and kills.

In the past few weeks, I also encountered satanist attacks. They are deceived and believe lucifer is their bud. When he is the father of lies, the accuser of the brethren, and a punk. A demon's one goal is deceiving people to torment forever with them.

There are two kingdoms. We must decide which side we belong to before the end. This killer will invade our coops in life with one desire to destroy our souls. But the devil has lost. Pray we all pick the right team.

Thank You for Your protection, Jesus. Lead people away from the destroyer of souls. Help us attack and invade the enemy when it is necessary. Thank You that satan has lost, and his kingdom will fall. In Jesus' mighty name, amen.
