Ephesians 4:27 And do not give the devil an opportunity.
When you see a scripture like this please take it very seriously, because it is a pre warning to impending danger ahead. Why this warning? Because Satan does not joke with any opportunity, he is always looking for an opportunity.
1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
For you not to give the devil an opportunity you must be RED ALERT always, how can you do that? Check the next scripture
2 Corinthians 11:14 But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light
Hear me, dear friend, I keep saying it, everybody is not your friend, there are people around you who have ulterior motives
Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat
I pray for you every satanic plan that hell and darkness are planning against you and your family shall scatter in the name of Jesus Christ! Your adversary (the devil) will strive to influence your mind, and irritate your spirit.
How? By a calculated attempt from tale-bearers, whisperers, and backbiters, whose agenda is to come to you with accusations against your brethren with evil speaking. These people am talking about are your close and trusted associates, they are very close to you
Let me tell you something, satan will never use any new theology, or new thing, he will use those things you already know, and people you are familiar with. The reason they are close to you is to gain your trust. This is the same theory he has been using, he only modifies it, per the person involved
He used it in the garden of Eden in the old testament, he used it with Jesus in the new testament. No new tricks, just modifications. So what must you do?
DO NOT GIVE THE DEVIL AN OPPORTUNITY!
How does he work? Let me show you how it works, look at the next Bible verse
Luke 22:3 Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.
How would you know this? By being sober, vigilant and at alert. Hear me dear Friend, just as the Holy Spirit possess humans so does satanic spirit possess humans also
I decree every satanic manipulation over your destiny be broken, I release your destiny from arrows of the wicked in the name of Jesus Christ!
Every evil hand-stretched over you, I cause it to wither by fire, in the name of Jesus! How will you know?
Romans 16:17-18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple
The Bible says you must mark them, identify them, and take note of them. They are close to you with an agenda, and how can you identify their motives and agenda if you do not have the word of God in your Spirit?
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
The bible says do not give them an opportunity. So what must you do?
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked”
Hold on to your defense, remember you are a soldier and a soldier is alert at his station. I pray for you every satanic agent assigned against you, shall not succeed over you. I dismantle every altar assigned against you in the name of Jesus
Every evil arrow of the wicked back to sender in Jesus Mighty name Amen!
God bless you
