Psalm 22:11-13
Lions are beasts, they are devourers and are regarded as kings of the jungle.
Lions use fear as a tactic to defeat their prey and have teeth, speed and strength to tear apart their victim.
As tough and intimidating as the lion is, it can still be defeated, captured and even killed.
Many things in the natural realm are similar to what things are like in the spirit realm.
Lions are very symbolic in the Bible:
Jesus Christ is the lion of the tribe of Judah
The devil operates like a lion. 1 Peter 5:8
Evil spirits operate like lions because they are devourers and the Bible calls them beasts. Malachi 3:11, Psalm 22:21
Evil spirits can be wild and violent like lions, we see this when Jesus was on the cross. Psalm 22:11,12
There are lion like angels. Ezekiel 1:10
Lions are used to represent victory and royalty. Genesis 49:9
Evil spirits want to be victorious over you.
We can become victims of the lions of life if we don't listen to God.
1 Kings 20:36
Evil spirits can be rendered powerless like we can do with lions.
Evil spirits, whether fallen angels or demons can be defeated, overcome and dealt with.
We see this with Samson who defeated a lion with his bare hands.
Judges 14:5,6
Samson's exploit is evidence to us that with God's strength and presence the lions of life can be defeated.
In the same way Samson defeated a physical lion, we can defeat every spiritual lion that comes against us.
Daniel overcame the lions of life that came against him.
Daniel 6:17-24
Jesus experienced the physical violence of spiritual lions when He was on the cross.
He defeated them, He made an open show of their defeat.
Colossians 2:15
Like lions, evil spirits are called beasts in the Bible.
Lions are killers, so we have to be aware of the lions of life and know how to defeat them.
We may not have physical lions to confront but there are evil spirits who kill, destroy, steal and harass like lions.
Anyone who is not in Christ Jesus can be a victim of the spiritual lions of life at anytime.
No matter how clever you are the lions of life can come against you.
Daniel was a clever man but he still found himself in the lions den.
No matter how anointed you are, the lions of life will still try to fight you.
In fact the more you walk in the anointing, the more you attract them.
A young prophet was killed by one, he was anointed.
1 kings 13:24,25
Jesus Christ was as anointed as any man can be yet the Bible reveals the presence of lions against Him.
How to defeat the lions of life:
1) Have salvation. (1 John 4:4)
2) Believe in God's protection and ask for it. (Psalm 32:7)
3) Know who you are in Christ. (Daniel 11:32)
4) Stay in the path of divine direction. (Proverbs 3:5,6)
