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.

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. This, the church, should be a scary yet amazingly exciting place to be. We need to discover perhaps a much higher faith-filled expectation for the gathered body of Christ than perhaps we have at present.
