"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10 NKJV
As I was waiting on the Lord this morning, for something to write; I asked Him, 'Lord, what do You want me to say?' Straightaway, my mobile pinged. It was my wife, Hazel. She had sent this text:
'There is one thing he cannot steal and kill and destroy, and that is the Blood of Jesus shed for me and the Word of my Testimony, that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life'

This got me thinking around John 10:10. Satan has stolen many things from people: lives, marriages, children, good health, riches and much more. But, he cannot steal our salvation. We belong to Jesus Christ. Our names are written in Heaven, in fact, we have stamped on us, 'Made in Heaven', and he cannot change that at all.
Just think what Satan has stolen from you. It may be family, who have become separated from you causing total heartache. It could be your health or prosperity. Question: are you just going to sit there and die? This is what the four leprous men said in 2 Kings 7:3-4. They decided they were going to get up and do something about it; and so should you! Satan may have broken your heart, that's what he does, he's the joy robber. But Jesus is the joy bringer, He's very good at repairing hearts.
In Psalm 23, we read of the shepherd with a rod and a staff. The rod would probably have been, solid oak and about two foot long. It's purpose was to drive off any wild animals that tried to attack the sheep. The staff was for guidance. Often the sheep would fall into deep holes or fall down a hill. The shepherd would use his staff to pull them to safety. Nothing gets past a shepherd.
We need to realise that Jesus is our Shepherd. That He wants to guide us and bring justice to our lives. He is on our side. Therefore, we need to stand up, pray and take back what the devil has stolen. We need to believe that it is God's highest desire to bless us with superabundance and good health. So, we need to line up our highest desire with His. We then have agreement. The devil is a robber of our faith, health and prosperity, but God is the abundance giver, the healer and the rewarder.
Jesus has your best interests at heart. Get in line with Him and ask Him for help. Get your authority bubbling in the name of Jesus and order the devil to return all he has stolen. Take Jesus at His Word and get your faith stirred up. Then sit and wait for the angels to bring you your request!
