Just as it is written in John 10:10, “ The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy …” Where Satan and his agents can’t kill and destroy, they steal. Satan steal because he doesn’t have the power over life and death. Jesus does (Revelation 1:18). All Satan does is lure his prey to sin and watch the individual killed slowly by the sin (Romans 6:23).

There are several ways Satan and his agents steal from the saints, but I will only deliberate on the few once I know. We should not be ignorant of the devil’s devices and strategies (2 Corinthians 2:11) and we should be aware that some are working for Satan to populate the kingdom of darkness and these are called his agents (1 Timothy 5:15). The agents are either fallen angels which Satan tempted to sin against God in heaven, or human agents which the fallen angels — demons — have possessed entirely (Matthew 8:28-29).

One of the major ways Satan and his agents steal from the saints is during the gathering of believers. When the children of God gather to worship the name of the Lord, the agents of Satan come along also (Job 1:6). Not to worship God, but to create distortions in the gathering to ensure that the children of God doesn’t concentrate on the word of God and get the desired blessings for the service.

Some of the ways the agents of Satan cause distortions in church fellowship is by casting sleep spells in the gathering. This explains why individuals are often tempted to sleep in the church. Most of those sleep you see are not ordinary sleep but a forceful one to prevent the children of God to hear the word of God and take their blessings home. Some other ways they cause distraction is by deliberately making their phones to ring and causing other distractions during prayer and worship. To prevent this from happening, prayers should be conducted before and the during the church gathering (Acts 1:14) .

Another way Satan and his agents steal from the children is God is sex in the dream during sleep. In the dream, they cause the individual to have sex with them in the sleep and most of the time the individual wakes up wet with semen. This is generally accepted in the society today and a name has been given to it called “wet dream” but I tell you the truth, there is nothing wet in any dream because it is a demonic activity in the sleep with the aim to steal strength and blessings from the individual. This explains why some individual wakes up weak with body pains because of some manipulation that have been done in the sleep.

If you’re spiritually mature, you will get the sensation in the sleep but if on the other hand you’re spiritually immature, they will come and go, while you wake up as usual as if nothing happened. To prevent this from happening, pray before you sleep and sleep with your Holy Bible open with key chapters like Ephesians six containing the protective armour of God open.

Apart from sex in the dream, Satan also steal from the saints with physical sex which is known as fornication. For this reason, the scripture has warned us to flee from fornication because while other sins is a sin outside the body, fornication is a sin against our own body (1 Corinthians 6:18).

Sexual intercourse is a spiritual bond and so many complex spiritual things go on in the process. With fornication, so many destinies have been ruined and great men turned to pieces of bread (Proverbs 6:26). The good news is that there is a cure and Jesus Christ the Lord of Lords, is the cure (John 10:10).

Accept Jesus today and be saved (1 John 1:9).
