Pressure of Devil Vs of God

at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me.
And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'
So I said, 'Who are You, Lord?' And He said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Biblical quote , Acts 26:13-15

Pressure of Devil vs of God, 
Bad thoughts are always 
         enemies of humans. 
         Saul filled with bad intentions
                  and found on the ground. 
       pressure of God was so higher, 
      devil heard gargantuan voices and 
                                                escaped quickly.
Saul became  free and asked ," Who are you,  Lord?" 
And He said ,"
I am Jesus,
Who you persecuting." 
Saul and his companions 
were ill-treating christians
which made Jesus angry,
how many people continue being  pushing
by devil to ill-treat others innocently?
It is knotty , hardly for a person with the Holy
Spirit to fall on the ground 
because of  devil's ultimatums. 

Pressure of Devil vs of God,
Saul ( Paul) became a follower of Christ Jesus 
and started to preach the true gospel of God 
then he was pressured by some  Pharisees 
and scribes leaders because
he stopped doing their cruelty mission. 
he become so stronger in the Lord,
passed through many challenges.
outside ,  there are many criminals 
who are pressured by devil to do crimes 
here and there
But one day God will reach them 
as he saved Saul ( Paul). 
Paul succeeded his mission 
which was to turn people from darkness  
to light and the  power of Satan to God.
