"Imagine yourself in a neighbourhood deluged with violence and crime. Not a day passes without some chilling news of murder, rape or abduction. Your home is being stalked by dangerous assilant who lurks somewhere in the dark awaiting the moment when he can slip in and take you by surprise. He longs to take you and your loved ones hostage, plunder and destroy your possesions, and maim those you love. Perhaps he'll even kill. You cannot change his mind by beggin, pleading or crying. He is a sworn enemy and determined to destroy you.
In the light of all these, would you forget to lock your front door? Of course not!
Let's take it further. Would you dream of retiring at night with your front door not only unlocked but left wide open? Absolutely not! The absurdity of it is almost offensive, yet countless people do this very thing. But it is not the door to a home that is left open-it is the door to their souls.
...these unaware and unprepared believers from all walks of life, income and common. They are both overseas and stateside. They are educated and ignorant. But they all have one thing in common: They are victims of a wise and cunning adversary who placed them under his controlling curse. How? They left open the devil's door!
...In the realm of oversight and ignorance, even believers fall prey."
portions taken from The Devil's Door by John Bevere.
A complacent guard leaves the gates of his camp wide open while he goes to bed, thinking to himself nothing will happen. But guess what the enemy is out there, waiting in the dark for an opportunity to put his flaws on you, tearing you into pieces.
Close the devil's door in your heart, today!
