Our Scripture reading today is Ephesians 4:25-27.
 
Verse 27, "Neither give place to the devil."
 
The devil does not need any help in trying to destroy our lives and our testimonies.  We must not give him any advantages.  If there are areas of our lives that give him an advantage, we need to recognize it and by God's power, reomove those areas.  Yes, if given an inch; the devil will take a mile.  He is and always will be the great deceiver.  He hates God which means he also hates you and me.  
 
It is important that we shut the door on our enemy.  2 Corinthians 2:11, "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."  Ananias and Sapphira gave the devil room and he filled their heart.  Acts 5:3, "But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?"  It may not happen overnight, but Satan is working to do the same to each one of us.  It is time to shut the door of our heart to the devil and his ways!  Praise God we have His Spirit to lead us to victory!
