Satan's Pitchfork

"There's a killer on the loose - the world's most dangerous thief. He's the devil - and his three-pronged attack. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to STEAL, and to KILL, and to DESTROY.

He is a THIEF. He wants to steal from us. The Bible talks of spiritual wealth. Matthew 6:19 …treasures in heaven… Real wealth is knowing a heavenly dimension in your life- a life lived with an eternal meaning and purpose. It's a Fail-Safe Investment.

God gives – and the devil takes. He wants to take the Word of God from people; Matthew 13:19. The devil sometimes TAKES by GIVING - in the Garden he tempted Eve and then Adam with the forbidden fruit and he's been robbing people blind ever since.

The devil wants to take your…
• Sight – blinding minds and hearts
• Sword - the Word of God – and the armour of God
• Song – your intimacy with God
• Strength - like with Samson - fooled by sweet talking Delilah
• Spiritual Receptivity - your sense of conscience; God's Guidance for your life
• Time and energy
• Liberty - to bind you and captivate you
• Knowledge of God - He wants to keep you in darkness
• Joy – so you fail to count your blessings
• Purity of your mind
• Zeal - he wants you cold about the things of God
• Gifts from God - so they get covered in the dust of neglect
• Riches in Christ - He wants you spiritual bankrupt – and miss ""The unsearchable riches of Christ"
• Crown. Our Lord says, Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

The devil will look like he's giving you something - but really he's taking from you. Like happened with David and Bathsheba. Also, when Esau sold Jacob his birthright – he gave away his right
