TAKE BACK WHAT THE ENEMY HAS STOLEN In the spiritual realm, a kind of stealing is going on in many lives. Satan is in the business of ripping off things that don’t belong to him! Jesus said in JOHN 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness. The bible says 2 Corinthians 3:1818 And all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more. There is no end to the power he wants to exhibit in our lives. The bible has no retirement plan. God can keep his people on fire for Him, can keep us sharp and intense. We need to be honest and admit what has really happened. We have been ripped off! Five,Ten, 20 years ago there was a stirring inside of you, but then you got discouraged, somebody let you down, something went wrong in your church, you tried twice, but somebody criticised you soon the dream was gone and you thought the calling wasn’t real! You got ripped off! Why do Christian couples and families have so much trouble? Satan fully intends to destroy my marriage, my relationship with my family, This is a reality of spiritual warfare! No honest man or woman of God will deney that the devil makes major assaults on their marriage and families. Why is satan so intent on breaking up families and church’s because they reflect the nature of God! The story in 1 Sam of David and ZIKLAG Davids family is gone everything is lost and His men turn on him in natural anger! Then comes a wonderful phrase! 1 Samuel 30:6 David was now in serious trouble because his men were very bitter about losing their wives and children, and they began to talk of stoning him. But David found strength in the LORD his God. 8 Then David asked the LORD, “Should I chase them? Will I catch them?” And the LORD told him, “Yes, go after them. You will surely recover everything that was taken from you!” 9 So David and his six hundred men set out, 16 So the Egyptian led them to the Amalekite encampment. When David and his men arrived, the Amalekites were spread out across the fields, eating and drinking and dancing with joy because of the vast amount of plunder they had taken from the Philistines and the land of Judah. 17 David and his men rushed in among them and slaughtered them throughout that night and the entire next day until evening. None of the Amalekites escaped except four hundred young men who fled on camels. 18 David got back everything the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives. 19 Nothing was missing: small or great, son or daughter, nor anything else that had been taken. David brought everything back. 20 His troops rounded up all the flocks and herds and drove them on ahead. “These all belong to David as his reward!” they said. Why am I telling you this story? Because the moment came when David and His men chose to get up and go after stolen property! Today we need to say wait a minute! Im not giving up on my calling My son my daughter My wife my husband My friend my family My potential in life Satan has no feelings of sympathy for you If you don’t resist him he’ll rip you off every week all year every year! Jesus can revive your fire Renew your relationships Your call can bloom again You can recover the faith that satan stole from you God can revive faith in our souls if we ask him! He will bring faith back through His word!
