“Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.”
—Ephesians 6:11, NASB

Reflection
Demons seek expression through flesh and blood, and they often attack through our thoughts. Sinful behavior opens the door for spirits of that same nature to gain entrance and attach themselves to us. Gossip, adultery, lust, perversion, gluttony, and every yielded pattern of the flesh can become a point of access. But God has not left us exposed; He offers us spiritual armor so we can stand firm, close the door, and walk in freedom.

Application

• Ask the Lord to reveal where repeated sin has created an opening.
• Confess quickly, resist firmly, and put on the armor God has provided.

Prayer
Lord Jesus, guard our minds, bodies, and desires under Your authority. Show us every open door, strengthen us to turn from sin, and clothe us with the armor of God. Amen.
