The Enemy Comes to Kill Steal and Destroy

John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

How true this verse is.  There are so many marriages that are on the blink of divorce and families being ripped apart because of our selfish desires that are not of God.  Because of what the enemy has planted in one's mind.  Beginning with the process of the mind which then goes to one's heart.  The sad part about this verse is we want to place a lot of the blame on the enemy, but in reality most could be avoided if our hearts were in align with God.  I believe we have test from God even Jesus was tempted and tested.  Jesus also spoke that man cannot live off of bread alone. 

James 1:13
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; ¹⁴ but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. ¹⁵ Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. 

If we are not protected by the word of God how will we ever overcome the temptations of the world?

Ephesians 6:13-15

¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
We then act on our selfish desires. The last part of the verse says it all.  If we were equipped with the word of God, I believe most of what we go through we would be able to over come the attacks on our lives and family.

We as a children of God should take these words to heart.  God, gave His only Son so that we may have life and to the fullest.  Lust, adultery, money, things can not buy or give us a full life.  Only God can give us life to the fullest nothing else in this world will satisfy us like the love of the Lord.  The fruit of the spirit will show in our lives when we put others before our self.  Forgiving, loving and serving others, just as Jesus did at the "Last Supper."  The things of this world will pass away but the forgiveness and love of the Father will never pass away.

Did you know that unforgiving is a sin. With unforgiving in our hearts it will cause bitterness to set in and hinder your walk with God.  Do we as children of God throw it all away and allow the enemy to tear our families apart or do we take a stand and give God all the Glory?
