Jesus is our example of leaving no opportunity for the devil’s input. John 14:30 says, “I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this word is coming, and he has nothing in Me.” The Amplified says, “…he has nothing in Me that belongs to him…”
Ephesians 4:26 was written about not going to bed angry. Verse 27 in the Amplified says, “Leave no (such) room or foothold for the devil (give no opportunity to him).”
Proverbs 4:23 says that when we don’t resolve issues, they will spring out when we least expect them. Have you ever wished you had not said something? Have you ever reacted in the flesh and tarnished your testimony?
Ecclesiastes 10:1 says, “Dead flies putrefy the perfumer’s ointment, and cause it to give off a foul odor; so does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.”
