When someone was sent by Satan to rob your peace, it won’t be as obvious as you might think. In fact, there might even be some healthy parts about this person that you really admire. But that’s a part of Satan’s ploy. He will tempt you to ignore the poison this person is injecting into your life because there is a little good, too.
Here are 4 possible reasons rooted in Scripture for why unhealthy people keep coming into your life.
Our thoughts direct our actions, and our actions direct our lives. Thus, to follow God’s path and reject Satan’s desires for us, we must make sure our thoughts are biblical.

Your home is meant to be a place of peace, rest, and protection. Yet many people unknowingly open spiritual doors that allow the enemy to sow fear, confusion, and bondage within their households.

While believers cannot be possessed if they belong to Christ, they can be oppressed, harassed, or spiritually weakened by inviting in demonic influences.
The word limerence may sound modern, but the experience it describes is as old as humanity. Coined by psychologist Dorothy Tennov in the 1970s, limerence refers to an intense emotional and obsessive infatuation with another person—usually romantic in nature. It often involves intrusive thoughts, idealization, and a longing for reciprocation. In plain terms, it’s when your mind becomes consumed by someone you believe could complete you.
Jesus said, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).
