Neither give place to the devil.
-Ephesians 4:27 (King James Version)
Yesterday, we talked about the three steps to the new person. If you are going to start taking your faith in Jesus seriously, then you must do what Paul wrote about in Ephesians 4:27.
"Neither give place to the devil." What Paul is saying is that you must not allow the devil into any part of your life. Not any part. If you allow the devil even just one careless thought, then your prime target for him to take over. Paul writes this in Galatians 5:17, "For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do." If you allow the devil to fulfill even one desire of your sin nature, then you've lost the battle. As you go through this day, keep focused on Jesus, and His desires, and don't let the devil get even a toe into your life. Think About It.
