The enemy is a thief looking to destroy anything and anyone trying to walk the path of doing life with God. It gets ugly. The Word warns of the upheaval. Holy Spirit within is the stabilizing force during the onslaught.
Doing life with God promises peace within the upheaval. It is the only way to survive the onslaught. Remain close to Jesus. Do the right thing. God always wins the battle.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10
