SPIRITUAL DOORS

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
The devil and his demons cannot just come and do things to us without an open door. Therefore, this open door gives the devil an access to the hedge of protection God has around us. If we don’t close these doors, the devil will continue to use different things and people to wreak havoc on us. Remember, we wrestle not with flesh and blood. We are not fighting people but the evil spirit behind them, which is the devil. The devil can use anyone with an open door to do his dirty work. So, when we think we are fighting people, it’s the devil using them as pons. That is why we need to close all open doors to him. No one is immune to being used by the devil, especially if they have any open doors. If those doors are not closed, it gives the devil and his demons legal rights to come in and run ramped into our lives. Some people may not realize when the devil is using them. The devil uses people to cause division and deception to carry out his plans.
Everything may not always be the devil but he uses open doors to come in and do whatever he likes to us. He plays a major role in a lot of discourse in the world. He does it in such a way that we don’t notice that it is him. He wants us to think that we are fighting each other instead. Sometimes, what also opens the door to the devil is our disobedience to God. When we go against God’s Word because we want to do things our own way. Sometimes we feel we do not need God.
Anything that worship satan and not God
The Mind
Our minds are the battlefield for attacks from the enemy. Our thoughts are where the true battle is fought. We are all fighting our own battles of the mind. We all have our own struggles, that is why we need to be mindful of how we treat each other.
Although the devil may plant seeds in our minds, we don’t have to dwell or accept it into our spirits. We must not let it take root because it is giving the devil an open door to us. The devil is good at accusing and lying to get what he wants. We must not believe what he feeds us, that is why we need to renew our minds with God’s Word. So we will know what is true and what lies are coming from the enemy’s camp. None of us are immune to being tempted or deceived by the enemy. He is very cunning and tricky. He will use anything and anyone to carry out his evil schemes. What we think in our minds opens the door to the enemy.
Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
2 Corinthians 10:5
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
Heart
If we allow those thoughts from the devil to manifest and take root, our hearts are then becomes affected. A stronghold is then developed holding us captive and under the control of the devil. Our thoughts are very important and the enemy knows that. The enemy knows that if he can attack our thoughts and we accept the lies, he’s got us and it furthers his agenda to kill, steal and destroy us. We don’t have to believe every lie the devil feeds us. We have a choice. We can reject those lies. Cast it down and bring it into alignment with God’s Word. Every situation, thought, and belief flows into our hearts. We must test every spirit and hold every thought captive and make sure it lines up with the Word of God. What we feel in our heart opens the door to the enemy.
Proverbs 4:23
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
1 John 4:1
Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.
Mouth
Whatever is stored in our heart spurs up and out of the mouth, if not addressed in the mind. The tongue is a powerful member. It can create life or death. It can create blessings and curses. Once it is out in the atmosphere there’s no taking it back. It sets the tone to create whatever was released, positive or negative. What comes out of our mouth opens the door to the enemy.
