August 2: No Vacancy

"Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil."

Ephesians 4:26,27

Never give the devil a position of opportunity to enter your life. You can probably look back right now and see a time when you opened the door in your mind and let the devil in. You did not submit to God and you did not resist the devil; therefore, he did not flee (James 4:7). He will seize on every opportunity to kill, steal and destroy your life if you let him.

Do not wait until the devil moves in and unpacks his suitcase of blight and discouragement, to kick him out. Do not wait until he unpacks his distress and unloads a big accident in your family to scream out to God, “Help me get rid of the devil!” When you are rejoicing, the devil cannot get in your mind. When you are shouting, he cannot invade your body. When you are praising God and thanking Him for His goodness and mercy, the devil has no access to your life.

Build up your spirit by praying in the Holy Ghost. Renew your mind with the Word of God, and fill your mouth with His praises. Hang out a “No Vacancy” sign for the devil, and when he tries to enter in, slam the door by lifting up your voice in praise and thanksgiving.

The best defense is an aggressive offense.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
