Steal, Kill And Destroy
Satan Works to Destroy Us
Jesus said that the thief or Satan has come to steal, kill and destroy. What does this mean? (John 10:9–10, John 8:43–44)
Well the very first thing. Is our soul. The enemy does everything in his power to keep people from salvation. He fights to keep people from hearing the call. From knowing God. From having a relationship with Him. ( Matt. Chapter 13, verses 4, 19)
But, once God has broken through into our lives and we have heard Him, believed Him and accepted Him. He saves us.
Even after salvation, the enemy still attacks us. He still seeks to steal, kill and destroy.
He gets us to waste our money on things that won’t bless others, or survive the fire.
He gets us to focus on things that don’t matter, stealing our time and our life, and our finances.
He gets us to see only this world, instead of storing up treasures for the next.
Because where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matt 6:19–21)
Overcome evil with good. Turn everything over to God. Surrender it all and use all of it for His glory. That redeems our waste. That turns uselessness into value. (Romans 12:21)
