Would you look in Ephesians, please, the fourth chapter.

For some weeks we've been on a series that we're calling

No Place for the Devil.

No place for the Devil.

Now we've already covered a lot of ground.

And so if you haven't been with us, let me encourage you.

Get online and listen to, watch the previous messages.

They won't cost you anything.

And like we say around here, no charge means no excuse for not knowing it, not getting it.

In Ephesians 4, verse 22, he said that you put off concerning the former conversation,

the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts and be renewed in the spirit of your mind

that you put on the new man which after God's created in righteousness and true holiness,

wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor, for we're members one of another. Be angry

and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Neither give place to the devil.

Neither give place to the devil. Neither give place to the devil. He understood the subject there is you. And the previous

two verses he gave two specific ways that people do give place to the devil. One was through lying, and the other was through anger and rage.

But this lets us know that there is a devil, and also lets us know that he cannot just come in and do things because he wants to, we have the authority

and the ability to prevent him from working in our life. Is this good news? This is wonderful

news. Skip on over to the sixth chapter in this same book of Ephesians,

6 and 10. He said, finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

Keep going. Next couple of verses here. Keep going.

Next couple of verses here, verse 11.
