the Bible says don't give place to the devil and this speaks speaks I'm sorry
speaks to Christians that means Christians are capable of giving place
to the devil last year around summer we all had a service in the park and I had
people that lived with us and one of the requirements that anyone who anybody who
lived with us I always asked them please lock the windows and not just close the
windows but lock the windows because how many you know you can close the window
and not lock the window and so but because people have hard hearts
sometimes they would not check double check you know and when it's not your
house you you don't care as much as it's in your own house so sometimes I would
even walk into the rooms and double check just in case and find out the
windows to be open or doors left unlocked and we were all worshipping God
in the park having a fabulous time and I come back to the house and I see in the
house a wind at first I thought it was like the window the Holy Spirit you know
who this is awesome I felt something different but I quickly realized the
Holy Ghost isn't in this house yet and so I checked one of the rooms and I find
out the window is open wide open and I see fingerprints like like glove prints
on the walls right away and the screen is removed and I quickly realized that
our house got broken into one of the reasons I realize the house was broken
into his because the car was missing duh I looked through my stuff and I see all
of our drawers are open and for the first time I felt it's almost feels like
you're being violated when you just realize somebody went through your stuff
nothing was taken except the car and the car happened not to be mine so there was
a sense of relief and the car was supposed to be given to somebody and so
if you can switch that's actually the guy that's the car that the person took
and so the person that the ironic part is the the room that this person broke
into this person who lived with us happened to drive around Pasco downtown
after midnight that's another ironic thing which we could go for
another time and so and then this person finds out this car parked in
downtown Pasco there with a note inside of the car and I want you to see the
note I'm sorry for stealing now unfortunately Satan is the thief he will
you will never experience this with Satan that's what I'm gonna tell you
about right away but the person who stole in my house and broke into my house was
studying me they knew they watched for nobody to be there and they got me
figured out and it took me once or someone in my house wants to make a
mistake this person didn't attack me I've never seen him physically and I
have never seen him before never seen him afterwards he never stabbed me he
never injured me the only thing he did he slipped into a window that was open took
something and left it's interesting when Jesus talked about Satan he says one of
the first characteristics of Satan is he comes to steal as the thief he remains
anonymous as the thief his goal is not to stay but to steal see Satan comes to
kill that's when the demonic oppression and demonic possession comes in but the
first strategy of Satan if he cannot possess you and oppress you and torment
you he wants to sneak in take stuff and leave that's why sometimes you will feel
like something is missing in my life you know what's missing
it's whatever Satan took how did he take it there was an open door I have
about six windows and two doors and one garage door after that I realized I
cannot rely on me or people living in my house to keep the
windows and the doors locked so I invented this Russian reinforcer I'm
giving you tips today of how to secure your life the blood of Jesus and the
fire of the Holy Ghost and wooden sticks from Lowe's what you do is you put this
in so even if you forget to lock the window and close the window you stick
them in so that nobody can open your window because they have this wooden
piece I installed cameras in my house I bought fake stickers that say I have
security in my house and those of you who are getting ideas I have cameras you
can break in and I started to I too bought locks that a moment I get out of
my house they self lock in 30 seconds and so I am reinforced why because I
have valuables in at my house and I don't want thieves to break in just last
week 25 break-ins happen in one week in Kennewick there's one thing you gonna get
out of coming to church today reinforce your house and your car the
Bible gives us at least 10 different windows to your personal life and your
soul and I want to mention them today not just two but maybe two if you're
noticing something is missing in your life - maybe to double check is this
part of my life open to demonic influence and if it's not to just
reinforce one of the reasons we don't sin as Christians it's not just so we
stay away from jail and we don't go to hell and all this stuff the reason why
we we don't sin as Christians it's so Satan stays away from us if there is no
heaven and hell if there is no eternity I would still not want a sin just
because I don't want to have a thief in my house the same way I keep my windows
and doors locked why because I want safe things in my house to be safe and so the
first open door that many times is mentioned in a Bible and that is occult
that is the biggest one horoscopes Ouija boards dream catchers
talking to the dead all kinds of a Ouija boards and connecting with the dead a
levitation and in every shape and form of a cult any teaching or a religion
that does not believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is an occult it it's an
occult they might be good people but deceived
number two the open door is disrespect for parents Bible clearly indicates
contempt for your parents is open door for curse you can mark my word no one
who dishonors their parents will have a blessed life you can have a PhD
dishonoring your parents but not a blessing on your life there's a curse
the Bible clearly states if you may say that's an Old Testament and everything
it's all over the Bible where disrespect for your parents is an open door for the
devil he might not oppress you and possess you but he will take stuff
number three open door is injustice too weak and
helpless it's when you hurt the needy or people who are weak I definitely believe
if you commit abortion you open the door to the demonic God can forgive you but
you need to renounce that and you need to find freedom and reinforce your life
by never doing it again because it's a murder it's hurting someone who is weak
and helpless and that is an open door for the demonic intrusion the next one
is illicit and natural sex or incest it's when people participate in sex that
is not natural illicit and the Bible mentions here things like you know
sleeping with your mother sleeping with your sister or sleeping the things that
are just unnatural and things that are illicit and especially having physical
relationships with animals the next one is anti-semitism if you notice that in
your family or even in yourself you hey you have this contempt or you have this
hate toward the Jews or disrespect for the Jews
I truly believe you really need to double check how you became a Christian
because every author of this book is Jewish your savior is Jewish he was born
to a Jewish people and so and he's coming back not to America New York
Washington DC is coming back to Jerusalem and the Bible says the whole
history is gonna be around that nation and so you might not be part of the
nation you might not understand that nation but you have to have deep respect
for that nation because that brings the blessing of God and your life can
somebody say Amen the next open door and that we need to reinforce is accursed
things it's when you and I invite things into our house that have been dedicated
to Satan and demons in the form of charms in the form of dream catchers in
the form of things that have been Bible calls it a abominable or cursed
they've been dedicated to Satan and demons if you bring them specially
objects that you pick up on your traveling or you pick up sometimes on
Indian Reservation and things that have been a curse they can bring
sickness they can bring disease and they can bring
nightmares and other attacks of Satan in your life sometimes
actually there are accursed places places where somebody committed suicide
or places where murdered happen could become hunted demons they get locked in
that place and anyone who moves in there they seek to torment for us as
Christians it's very easy if you have a title deed for that place anointing
oil anointing water any other that's anointed that you come pum pum pum pum
pum and you tell the devil you're not paying bills get out and that's it and
you take authority over that and you live for the glory of God I remember
when me and my wife we bought our second duplex and we moved in there and it was
a drug house I checked the title make sure that it didn't have a lean toward
the duplex and they said the lean is clean but the whole neighborhood knew
this is where they did drugs I even know some people who got saved in our church
with the drugs and my previous duplex so I knew it was a drug house and so we
took spray we sprayed it with with vinegar first and I sprayed it with
anointing water vinegar was for the walls and anointing water was for the
spirits and so we cleaned it up as we started to clean the house I found out
that in the basement there was a hole and a dead cat was buried there and so I
didn't I sent somebody else to take it out and so we took her out I remember
sprayed in and I knew there was something unnatural about that so I took the anointing
water sprayed and anointing oil and everything I just dedicated that house
and everything unclean and I know God and purpose allowed us to find that cat
to remove every cause of it because the last thing I wanted is sleep there and
have nightmares and all kinds of demonic things that happen in my life it's my
house we paid the bills and we can enjoy God's blessing but we have to remove the
accursed things can somebody say Amen the next thing that opens the door is
stealing and perjury on your home group you will read the Zachariah chapter 5
verse 4 where God says person who steals will have a curse under the house and
that the frame of their house is gonna fall apart it's actually crazy how
stealing perjury taking stuff that's not yours destroys your finances your
retirement and everything that you have and it's an open door if you steal
whether it's cyber stealing whether it's shoplifting whether is just taking
things from you boss that you don't that you don't earn you must understand
that is an open door for demonic intrusion he might not possess you or
torment you but he will take their opportunity
to steal things from you and God doesn't want it to happen the next one is stinginess
toward God we hear that verse all the time the next one is offense the
Bible says the person who was had unforgiveness was delivered to torturous
and tormentors and today in this message I just want to take a moment and pause
on the last one murmuring
