If you are a Christian, you are now the sworn foe of the legions of hell.  Have no delusions about their reality or their hostility.  But do not fear them.  The God inside you terrifies them.  They cannot touch you, let alone hurt you.  But they can still seduce and they will try.  They will also oppose you as you obey Christ.  If you are serious about Christ being your Lord and God, you can expect opposition.  But life with Jesus can be an exhilarating and reassuring experience of constant triumph over evil forces.  - John White
Scripture Says
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;  but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. 1 Pet. 4:12-13
