Giving Place to the Devil

[Natsumi Lam]

Hi Family,

What does it mean to give place to the devil?

What happens when you give him/them a place?

How do you reverse the allowance?

Ephesians 4:26-27 King James Version (KJV)
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.

 

[Aaron112]

Hi Family,

What does it mean to give place to the devil?

Simply doing as the devil wants, instead of trusting The Creator and Jesus.

What happens when you give him/them a place?

He does or can have authority then to cause fear and timidity and doubt and loss of fellowship with God , loss of fellowship with all the believers, loss of 'things' in our life that we can't hold on to or keep safe when we have handed over the right to them to the devil.

How do you reverse the allowance?

Cry out to God , turn to the Creator as Jesus says, repenting, turning away from sin ,
trusting our life to Him for God to do as He Pleases, including

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.

Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

Ephesians 4:26-27 King James Version (KJV)
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.
