Shut the door
"Neither give place to the devil" (Ephesians 4:27 KJV). Shut the door on the enemy. Don't let him in anymore, for he has taken so much from each one of us. The devil doesn't care about you or me. He's out only to steal, kill, and destroy. He could care less if you have $1 million or even one dollar. He doesn't care if you're beautiful or ugly. He's after one thing, that is the souls of people. Too many times the believer opens the door of their heart to the world, knowing that it is not safe. They may find themselves compromising with sin, which only allows darkness to come into their heart. We are all in a spiritual battle. Some believers may be comfortable where they are, just sitting on a church pew. Others may be blinded by the things of this world and compromising with their souls. There are others that find themselves struggling in a battle that they're trying to fight, but they cannot reach victory because they are fighting in their own strength. The devil has already lost this battle. Jesus has taken satan's authority and right over every believer. However, it is through lack of faith, unbelief, doubt, and sin that satan is allowed to take control once again. Jesus has come to give us victory over the world and the temptations that surround us. Christ Jesus is the victory! "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark 16:16-18 KJV). It's all up to us. Who do we give our hearts to this day? God bless you. Amen
