​He didn’t steal it, we laid it down. 

When we choose to disobey, we lay down our victory only to be defeated by the enemy’s curse of sickness, disease, poverty, grief, sorrow, the dominion of sin, and the power of darkness.

​

He is not authorized to steal anything from the believer. He can’t take our health, he can’t take our wealth, he can’t take our mind, he can’t take our kids etc. . . 

​

However, if we live outside the plan of God, we invite the enemy’s plan—the curse into our life. 

When we are walking in disobedience the enemy steals our health by making us sick. He steals our wealth by his poverty etc. 

​

As long as we’re on God‘s territory, he cannot touch us. But when we walk in disobedience we are on his territory. On his territory it’s like we’re asking for his stuff. 

​

When we were kids, and we were acting up my mother would say, “You kids are asking for it.”

Likewise, when we’re on the enemy's territory, we’re asking for what it offers. 

​

John 10:10
     The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

​

Notice this passage says, the thief (our enemy) comes and then we read why he comes. . .he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. How does he kill, steal, and destroy? By the curse, of sickness, disease, poverty, grief, sorrow, dominion of sin and the power of darkness. (Isaiah 53:3-5, II Corinthians 8:9, Romans 6:14, Colossians 1:13)

​

Again, when we are on the devil’s territory, we are surrendering our health, our wealth, our sanity, and everything that Jesus gave to us to the enemy. 

​

That is how he steals from us. We lay it down. When we lay it down we are saying yes to him. 

​

Most don’t think about disobedience to God as surrender to satan. Sobering thought.

Have a great day and remember Jesus is coming soon!!!!
