If you would look with me at Ephesians, the fourth chapter, Ephesians Chapter 4, when I've been with you,

we've been on this topic for a number of weeks now. I think we're over 20 sessions now into this.

Hadn't been able to find a place to stop on this quite, but that's all right.

That's the great thing about having our own family and church is we can just go until we

get through.

Let's continue today on this, Ephesians 4, the title of our series is

no place for the devil. How many think that's a good idea?

In Ephesians 4, it says we are part of the same body.

This is Ephesians 425.

Stop lying and start telling each other the truth.

That's a good idea.

Don't get so angry that you sin.

Don't go to bed angry.

And don't give the devil a chance instead of saying place or room

God's word translation verse 26 says don't verse 27 rather don't give the devil any opportunity

to work.

And so we see that he mentioned, in these few verses here,

he mentioned lying, that gives place to the devil.

He mentioned being angry to the point of sinning. That gives place to the devil.

And he mentioned in the verse after this, stealing. That gives place to the devil. And he mentioned in the verse after this, stealing.

That gives place to the devil. So we know those are three ways that you can give place to the enemy.

And he's writing to Christians, the saints in the church at Ephesus. So can a Christian give place to the devil?
