Don’t give the devil an opportunity. I heard someone say that the devil is a crackhead and I can clearly see what he meant by that.
The devil is a crackhead
The Devil don’t need a door he only needs a crack.
Leave no place to the devil and how do we do that and what is a crack? Lying and sinful anger is an open door for him.
Ephesians 4:27 urging believers to guard against giving Satan a foothold. You’re giving the devil “place”when you walk in disobedient and unforgiveness.
Doubting the word of God, always complaining .
We must be devoted to the word of God by reading and studying it hearing it and obeying it. Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves”. We must actively applying biblical teachings to our daily life rather than simply listening to them.
Ephesians 4:25
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
Putting off…
Falsehood is the old self believing in other things and not Christ and the cross.
( stop lying.)
“In your anger do not sin” : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. The only anger allowed is righteous anger,(repent from being emotionally, angry and move on quickly)
and do not give the devil a foothold.
Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, (christlikeness gives high moral standards )that they may have something to share with those in need. (get a job) we are to earn our living by whatever honest method is at our disposal instead of taking from others, we can now give to others.
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, (no slander or faithlessness proceed out of your mouth, )but only what is helpful for building others up (we’re not to tear down) but to build up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.(be a blessing).
