The Abundant Life

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."

John 10:10 ESV

Jesus died to give us an abundant life--not just an eternal life, an abundant life here on earth. The enemy does everything in his power to keep us from living this kind of life. Why? Because Satan does not want you to have what he can't have. He's not interested in you receiving restoration, redemption, resurrection, and certainly not a relationship with Jesus. No. You would be a powerful person if you received those.

Consider what is keeping you from living life to the fullest the way God intended you to live. These roadblocks are the enemy's ways to steal, kill, and destroy anything that comes from God. Ask yourselves these questions:

Steal. What has Satan stolen from you? Your joy? Your peace? Your hope?

Kill. What have you allowed to die? Relationships? Dreams? A good future?

Destroy. What has he destroyed that God gave you? Your identity? Your faith? Your trust in God?

After evaluating your present life, ask God to help you take back what the thief has stolen, killed, and destroyed. God is faithful. He will help you because He wants you to live life to the fullest.

Abundant living is a threat to the enemy. And I don't know about you, but I like the idea of being a threat. So, join me. Step into the abundant life Jesus died to give you. Fight for what is yours in Christ. Good things are coming your way.
