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 ask 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 wind of the Holy Spirit you know wow this
is awesome cause 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
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 is because the car was missing it's kind of duh I looked through my stuff and I see
all our drawers are open and for the first time I felt it 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 the ironic part is the the room that this person broke into this person who lived with
us happened to drive around Pasco downtown at midnight that's another ironic thing which
we could go for another time and so and then this person finds out this car parked 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 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 once to make a mistake this person didn't attack me
I've never seen him physically and I have never seen him before and never seen him afterwards
he never stabbed me he never urged 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
on how to secure your life the blood of Jesus and the fire of the Holy Ghost and wooden sticks from
Lowes 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't break in and I started to I too bought
locks that the moment I get out of my house they self lock in 30 seconds and so I am reinforced
why because I have valuables in 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 to but maybe to
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 the 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 wanna have a thief
in my house the same way I keep my windows and doors locked why because I want safety things in my
house to be safe and so the first open door that many times is mentioned in a Bible and that is an
occult that is the biggest one horoscopes Ouija boards dream catchers talking to the dead all
kinds of Ouija boards and connecting with the dead and levitation and in every shape and form of
occult any teaching or a religion that does not believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is an
occult is 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 you may say
that's in 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 to 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 unnatural 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 or 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
hate or 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 in 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 barnable or cursed they've been dedicated to satan and demons if you bring
them especially objects that you pick up on your traveling or you pick up sometimes on the Indian
Reservation and things that have been accursed they can bring sickness they can bring disease and they
bring nightmares and other attacks of satan in your life sometimes actually there are accursed
places places where somebody committed suicide or places where murder happened 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 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 they 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 in my previous duplex so I knew it was a drug house and so we took spray we
sprayed it with with vinegar first then I sprayed it with anointing water vinegar foot 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 it out there and I sprayed in there
and I knew that there was something unnatural about that so I took the anointing water spray there
and anointing oil and everything I just dedicated that house and everything unclean and I know God
on purpose allowed us to find that cat to remove every cause of it because the last thing I wanted
is sleep that I'd have nightmares and all kinds of demonic things that happen in my life it's my
house we pay 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 and 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 your Pastor 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 the opportunity to steal things from you and God doesn't want that 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 torturers and tormentors and
today in this message I just want to take a moment and pause on the last one murmuring
