The Apostle Paul. He really got a pounding. He was working so hard and so effectively for God that Satan just kept at him. Paul starts off humble (after his conversion from Saul to Paul that is) and as his walk moves on he just gets more and more meek. He's one of the wisest men ever to have lived, but he calls himself witless and a fool. He constantly talks of having no power but that which comes from Christ. In 1 Thes 2:17-19 Paul is writing of his deep want to go to the Thessalonians. They are strong believers and have been living by the Spirit. Paul states that though his want to be with them is deep and on going, Satan has been impeding him. Then Paul pulls out the big guns and states (basically) that the joke is on Satan. While the Enemy can put road blocks in our lives he can not stop Christ Our Lord! Paul says that he sees victory in the Victor because we'll all (all believers) will be with the Lord at His return!! (The Rapture)
No matter what Satan throws at you, know that the Lord's will, shall be done. In that there is always victory!
