When the Devil is at the Door

This sermon examines the account of Judas Iscariot's betrayal in Luke 22:3, focusing on how Satan entered into Judas before he betrayed Jesus. The message warns that unconfessed sin and unrepented areas in our lives create openings for the enemy to gain access and influence. Drawing from Ephesians 4:27's command to "give no place to the devil," the pastor emphasizes that Christians face daily battles against the world, the flesh, and the devil. While believers cannot be demon-possessed due to the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence, they can still be distracted, tempted, and influenced when they fail to guard their hearts. The sermon provides a three-part biblical strategy for spiritual victory: submit to God, resist the devil, and realize the true nature of the enemy. The pastor challenges the congregation to stop treating sin casually, to stand firm in spiritual authority, and to actively protect their homes and families through prayer and declaration of God's power.
