Pastor Joel preaches from John 10:10: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I
came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
Key points include: - The thief's methods are DECEPTION and MANIPULATION.
- If the thief can get into your head, he can manipulate you.
- The devil can't read your mind (he's not all-knowing like God).
- But he can put thoughts into your mind (Ezekiel 38:10).
Four ways Christians are being stolen from and manipulated by the thief: - Christians are being kept ignorant of the Word of God and of who they are In-Christ (Isaiah 5:11-13).
- Christians are being manipulated into thinking that their friends are their enemies and that their enemies are their friends (Luke 9:49-50).
- Christians are being manipulated into divisions.
- Christians are being manipulated into thinking that they have more time than they really have.
