Evict the Devil

HAPPY NEW MONTH! 

Welcome to July! Wow, half of the year has gone by already. Thank God that we've made it this far. Some of you may have been having a great year thus far while some of you may have been going through some storms, whatever the case may be I declare that the latter half of this year will be much better than the first half for you in Jesus' name. Amen!

                                            ***********************************

Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him]. (Ephesians 4:27 AMP)

We already have victory over the devil but we must ensure that we maintain it (Luke 10:19). The devil is crafty, he's always looking for a way to trip us up. This is why the bible tells us not be ignorant of his devices or schemes(2 Corinthians 2:11). The devil is a busy body, he roams around looking for ways to mess up good things(1 Peter 5:8). We need to be alert and not fall for his games. He will use the things and even the people that we love the most to hurt you. At times like this, we must learn to separate the person from the problem. The person is not your problem, so deal with the problem and not the person (get it?). He is the master of twisting and turning stories into lies, after all he is the father of lies (John 8:44). What lie have you believed recently?

When circumstances and situations do not seem to be in your favor, don't be discouraged. Set your mind on the Word, on the promises of God for your life. Because it is your truth, your reality. The devil can never tell the truth, it's alien to his nature. So don't give him a chance, be like Jesus and silence him with the Word of God flowing from your lips (Matthew 4:1-11). The truth will always set one free, while lies hold one bond. 

Have negative, sorrowful, or discouraging thoughts been filling your mind lately? If your answer to that question is yes, it means that you've given a room to the devil in the home of your soul (core of your being), which is your heart. It is commonly said that "an idle mind is the devil's playground", be mindful of your thoughts. 

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8 KJV).

Evict the devil today and be free from his lies. Who you are now and who you'll eventually become is a result of your thoughts (Proverbs 23:7).

Confession: Heavenly Father, I thank you because your Word is true. I choose to fill my mind with this reality, I will not give place to the devil. In Jesus' name. Amen

Prayer starter: Father I repent from every lie of enemy that I've believed. I receive grace to believe you at all times. In Jesus' name. Amen.



You're blessed!
