If Satan had a resume, it would consist of three words: Steal, Kill, and Destroy. He destroys everything, including families, marriages, ministries, testimonies, lives, and souls. The problem is that, as people, we think we can manage our sins, like we can have them under control, instead of them controlling us.

We do need to understand that when we gather in the body in Christ, this is the Lord’s opportunity to do spiritual business with his people.
