10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. ~ John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy, and that includes relationships, especially the one with the LORD Jesus. How does the enemy do this? By throwing up spiritual obstacles in your path. Trapping you in strongholds that keep you from moving forward. The enemy will use many different spiritual blockers so that he can limit, stunt, or even kill the spiritual growth of your relationship with the LORD.
This is the importance of building a strong relationship with Christ and crucifying the flesh every single day. We have to nurture, nourish, and grow our relationship with Jesus because it’s our relationship with Him that brings power. Power to overcome the enemy. Power to change our lives. Power to go from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18).
When we begin to understand that the only way to fight for our soul is to surrender ourselves completely to the LORD, then we will finally be able to overcome. We’ll be given life and life more abundantly. We’ll be given a hope and a future. We’ll be able to stand, even when under attack. Why? Because no longer will we be going in our strength, but in the strength of Christ.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Go In His Strength.
