“HEY! DO YOU REALIZE HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO BOAST VICTORY OVER THE DEVIL, (EVEN IN CHRIST), IF YOU HAVE IGNORNED THE DOORS AND GATEWAYS YOU HAVE OPENED TO HIM?”
Some of you may not have realized this spiritual reality. But God’s great love and mercy for you is opening your understanding to this important subject.
So that you don’t fear, and think, that there’s no hope, or help anywhere, let me assure you that God has provided the needed help to overcome the Devil and have victory over every adverse situation and weakness in our human flesh.
Let me show you, and give you the abundant hope, help and remedy we all have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

First, let me establish from God’s Word our hope and help. (I Cor 15:57; I Jn 4:4). “But thanks be to God which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ,” and… “Greater is He (Christ) who is in you, than he that’s in the world”. HERE’S WHAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
In order to have victory and overcome the devil in every area that he attacks us in, we must be totally surrendered to Christ, because every area not surrendered to him, is in rebellion to Him, and that ‘ALWAYS’ opens a door to the Devil.
SIN OPENS DOORS TO THE ENEMY, AND THESE OPEN DOORS WILL BREAK DOWN THE HEDGE, OR WALL OF PROTECTION.

Any area that we claim for ourselves instead of surrendering it to Christ, is in reality (rebellion to God, His will, and His kingdom).
It is selfishness, because we don’t want anyone to intrude in this area, even if it’s sin, because we enjoy it so much.

Child of God, don’t love anything so much THAT YOU’RE TAKEN CAPTIVE BY IT. To die to self and self-interests is exceedingly difficult.
BUT WE MUST, BECAUSE WE CAN ONLY BE SECURED BY GOD’S POWER, IF HE IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL, AND NOT WE OURSELVES.
(Mark 8:34-38) “Whosoever will come after Me, let him take up his cross daily and follow me. For whosoever will lose his life (give himself totally) for My sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it, but whosoever will save His life (live selfishly), will lose it.

Open doors must be closed. That’s any disobedience to the Word of God), and through repentance (we must stop sinning), and we must confess our sin to God.
Then we must whole-heartedly love and serve God loving our neighbor as ourselves. This puts us back under the blood covering and protection of God, through Jesus Christ our sacrificial Lamb.
(I Jn 1:7) “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin”.
Child of God, note, that it is only as we walk in the light that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
Listen very carefully. Jesus’ blood doesn’t cleanse me or you while we are still sinning and haven’t made any effort to repent and stop.
Dear brother/sister in the Lord. GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. He is pulling for you, and after this article I know you are wanting all things to be right with God.
As you confess and stop every sin, (doors to the enemy are closed), and restoration begins. Now, nothing can stand in your way as your soul prospers through faith and obedience to God’s Word.
Now, walk in joy and victory every day. There’s open doors of opportunity that you can step through.
Doors of ministry and ways and means whereby you can encourage, bless, and bring the presence of God into other people’s lives start to open.
You can bring healing to them through healing scriptures, and you can bring hope to them through the bright promises of God.
(I Cor. 15:57) “But thanks be to God who gives us the ‘VICTORY’ THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST”.
NOW, WE CAN TRULY BOAST, BUT NOT IN OURSELVES. OUR BOAST OF VICTORY IS IN JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.
