My Version

John 10:10a The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: KJV

John 10:10 The enemy only comes to steal my peace, kill my faith and destroy my ministry. LPV

LPV is the Larry Perry Version. It is not a literal translation it is a personal experience. What makes any verse in the bible personal is in how you experience those verses, how they become real for you.

The only reason I place steal my peace first in the order of procession is that it is the easiest to effect by the enemy. Personally I believe the biggest danger is killing faith. Not that it is the easiest thing for the enemy to effect, but that without faith anything I might do will not glorify God.

The end goal of the enemy’s attack of lies is to steal God’s glory, Satan wants it for himself. Our ministry is to glorify God and the enemy will strike at our most vulnerable point first. Enemies do not attack strongholds.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

The enemy knows that if he can disrupt the peace that Christ has given to us, insecurity sets in. Insecurity leads to doubt, doubt leads to fear, and fear freezes function.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Old toothless lions can no longer chase down prey. They walk about using their loud voice to create fear if possible, to freeze their prey into inactivity. Fear kills faith in that it no longer walks in the way.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
