"Neither Give Place to the Devil" By Pastor Matt Frayer

                                                         EPHESIANS 4:27

What does that mean, Neither give place to the Devil?  Men, I looked and looked to get a good answer.  I finally did.  It means, do not give him a opening.  How many times in your marriage have we let the Devil get the best of us.

We allow him to take advantage of our thoughts, words, attitudes, and our actions.  The Devil does not play fair.  He is a tempter, distracter, liar, and a deceiver.  When we have a bad attitude, we give the Devil a opening.  You give him an inch, and he will take a mile.  One little opening and he will try to destroy your marriage.

My wife and I are planning on taking jars and putting 50 pennies in each one.  Each and every bad or rotten thing we say to each other, we have to give them one of our pennies.  We are also doing this with the children.  I wonder who will end up with the most pennies.

We have to guard out tongues, control our attitudes, and watch our actions.  One wrong move, and the Devil sees an opening-once that happens we have a problem.

What I am trying to say is, Please Men, do not give him an opening.  Put on the Whole Armour of God, and men Put on that Shield of Faith.  Do not let the Devil destroy your marriage.
