The Enemy Has an Agenda, But So Does God | Pastor Remy Demery | The Temple of Praise

Main message: God and the enemy each operate with an agenda — the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came with a greater agenda to give us abundant (not merely material) life; you were built for better, so persevere and trust God.

Key points:

• Jesus’ contrast in John 10:10: the thief comes to steal, kill, destroy, but Christ came to give life more abundantly.
• The enemy’s agenda is intentional and aims at your peace, purpose, confidence, destiny, and identity.
• God’s agenda is greater: abundance means wholeness — purpose, inner peace, joy, strength, and a relationship with God that endures into eternity.
• Suffering and trials do not mean defeat but can be part of God building you up; you are “built for better.”
• Personal testimony: the preacher shared being diagnosed with cancer and being healed in five weeks as evidence of God’s power and faithfulness.
• Call to respond: don’t give up, deepen your relationship with Christ, and trust God’s plan for restoration and abundance.

Scriptures mentioned: John 10:10, Genesis 3:15, Psalm 112
