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”
Looking further on the above passage in trying to determine who this thief really is, we have established the fact that the thieves are truly such individuals whose messages are not and didn’t give life to the hearers and mankind.
So, Jesus would say:
John 10:8 “All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them”
Meaning ANY MAN OR ANY MESSAGE THAT BRINGS TO MANKIND ANYTHING EXCEPT LIFE IS A THIEF AND A ROBBER!
All such movements and persons of old who gave mankind great teachings, inspiring philosophies, wonderful laws and valuable precepts, yet such people and movements do not possess in themselves and so could not give eternal and incorruptible life to those whom they are sent or delivering those messages to. No matter the greatness of their movement or their records in human religious developments like the Bahai faith, Zoroastrianism, Grail Message, The Eckanka, etc. are simply thieves and Robbers.
Jesus has life within Himself and can give same to those who have received Him, so He is the door to the life of God and the great beyond. One of His major ministries is the release of this life to destroy death which all other religious leaders and founders could not overcome.
I Corinthians 15:25-26, “For HE must reign, until HE has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is DEATH”
Death is not a friend, as the preachers of Babylon are wont to tell us. Death being the greatest enemy of mankind. Jesus did not only overcome death but He is destroying death. No other Religion can boast of this from the founders.
The Thief That Comes to Steal, Kill and Destroy.
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”
Who is this Thief, the devil? No sir!
These are those who entered into the Pastorate that they may enjoy life and rake in the revenues of the Church. They are the basest and worst of thieves and murderers that you can ever imagine. Their ungodly conduct is completely a trap to the followers, whose conducts are of much scandal to the cause of Christ.
Their doctrine? Very deadly! These thieves are not commissioned by Christ, and so they are of no benefit to the flock. These thieves and their character are properly x-rayed by prophet Ezekiel;
Ezekiel 34, “1The Lord spoke to me. 2 “Mortal man,” he said, “denounce the rulers of Israel. Prophesy to them, and tell them what I, the Sovereign Lord, say to them: You are doomed, you shepherds of Israel! You take care of yourselves, but never tend the sheep. 3You drink the milk, wear clothes made from the wool, and kill and eat the finest sheep. But you never tend the sheep. 4You have not taken care of the weak ones, healed the ones that are sick, bandaged the ones that are hurt, brought back the ones that wandered off, or looked for the ones that were lost. Instead, you treated them cruelly. 5Because the sheep had no shepherd, they were scattered, and wild animals killed and ate them. 6So my sheep wandered over the high hills and the mountains. They were scattered over the face of the earth, and no one looked for them or tried to find them” GNT
These then are the real thieves that Jesus was talking about and nothing to do with a devil anywhere. It is we the Pastors!
The pastor whose ministry can’t give you life (Galatians 4:19) yet collect all the offering from you, and turn you into a zombie where your mind can’t work again perhaps through prophecies. These are real thieves and robbers that Jesus was talking about. They came to kill and to destroy the little life you had before you joined them or before they came into you.
But Jesus said “…I am come that they might have life…” meaning my doctrine gives life, because it is the true doctrine. But that of the false and bad shepherds leads to death, because it neither comes from nor can lead to the very God who is the fountain of life.
Friends, the ministers of the Gospel who are working and walking contrary to the ways and will of God are the thieves and robbers that Jesus spoke of and not the devil. Stop binding an imaginary devil here when the Pastors are actually the case in question.
