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

John 10:10

I have said it for years and will continue to say it...Do Not Let Anyone Steal Your Joy.  The enemy comes to destroy us and he will use anyone or anything to do so.  We must not allow him to distract, divide or dissuade us.  We must fix our eyes on the Lord and all He has done for us and place each day in His hands for we cannot do this life in our own strength.  We must draw from Him every day and ask that we  be filled with the Holy Spirit in order to do God's will. We must be filled with the Holy Spirit constantly and we do that by consistent prayer. In order for us to impact the lives of others we must be strong. When we grow weak, tired and alone the enemy will strike and although we cannot prevent these things from ever happening we can certainly prepare for these things. Be on guard, arm yourself with scripture and walk a healthy strong and fruitful walk. Stay in the Word, know His will and align your life up to His will and remember the battle is the Lord's. Stand on this truth and stand on this promise.
