Satan Only Comes For One Reason In Three Parts: To Kill, To Steal, And To Destroy
(John 10:10).
Scripture: Isaiah 28:13
Jesus let us know that Satan only comes for one reason in three parts: to kill, to steal, and to
destroy (John 10:10). And you may as well know — the devil is good at it! He doesn’t do
any- thing else but those three things. Killing, stealing, and destroying have been his
specialties ever since his light went out and he fell from Heaven (Isa. 14:12). And if you
misjudge him — if you don’t take him seriously — he can destroy you!
Now you see why we must be as wise as serpents yet as harmless as doves. Yet some people
say they don’t need the Holy Ghost’s help in prayer. They push His language aside and refuse
to allow Him to pray the mind of God for them hour after hour. Who do they think they’re
operating against — a spiritual wimp? Satan is not an enemy to take lightly. He’s a smart
fellow, and he comes for only one rea- son: to kill.
Isaiah 28:13 says, “But the word of the Lord was to them, ‘Precept upon precept, precept
upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little, ‘That they might go
and fall backward, and be broken And snared and caught.” Have we fallen back? Are we
broken? Have we been snared? Are we caught? If we are facing mountains that will not
move, then we are in a position to use this valuable God-ordained tool. By praying in the
Spirit we either receive the power and boldness to possess the answer or the grace to
courageously overcome and wait for God’s timing. Let’s do the Word and watch God move
on the scene to equip us to stand faithfully and walk victoriously in finishing what He has
called us to!
