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.
The devil sends ideas to our minds to destroy us. If we choose to believe that which the devil brings to our mind we can go in the wrong way and become destressed and even think things about other people that are wrong.
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Our own flesh also has ideas which are often harmful.
But the ideas God sends to us by the Holy Spirit of God bring us into an abundant life.
The ways of God are simple, easy to be accomplished, not overly costly. So we can know if some idea is complex and very expensive and very hard to do, it is not from God. It is from our own flesh or devils.
