When Satan "walks about as a roaring lion seeking someone to devour," what kind of people does he seek out?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics, Lesson 5–4: The Victory—Grace and Truth

People like Job, people like Peter, like Paul. People who begin to have personal, historical impact inevitably come under satanic attack. Satan is not omnipresent; he can only be in one place at a time, so he assigns demons to ordinary believers and saves some jobs for himself. When the believer finds himself being sifted by Satan, he will not look too great to the world, but what the world thinks will not matter because his champion is God.

Also asked: What kind of people is Satan looking to attack according to the Bible? · Who is Satan's focus on when he roams the earth as a roaring lion, as mentioned in 1 Peter 5:8? · What types of individuals does Satan target as described in 1 Peter 5:8?
