Revelation 12:9 says that the Devil was cast out into the earth, & his angels with him. But Satan & his demons do not simply “float around.” They look for a “place” to live. Ephesians 4:27 commands you and me as Christians to not give “place” to the devil. That Greek word is often translated “room.” Paul was saying, “Don’t give Satan a room - an area of control - a foothold - ground - in your life.” Usually, when Satan gets a room in a person’s life, he does it without them even knowing it! He doesn’t come in because you invite him. He slips in the back door.
How do Satan or his demons come in? Through:
- Anger
- Bitterness
- Unforgiveness
- Ungratefulness
- Jealousy
- Rebellion
- Disobedience
- Rock music
- Pride
- Etc.
This message has a powerful demonstration & illustration of how Satan takes a “little ground” in a person’s life and turns it into a stronghold! The hope of deliverance is also demonstrated.
