“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians "4":27
Without some foothold in us, Satan cannot operate. Hence his first tempting of us will be aimed at securing some ground; the next will be an assault from the ground he has secured. One very large territory, perhaps the largest that he operates from, is fear.<br/><br/>“Fear is Satan’s calling card,” a beloved counselor used to say to me. Whenever you accept his calling card, you will receive a visit from him. Fear him, and he comes; fear not, and he is held at a distance. No child of God need be fearful of Satan, even though he roar as a lion and his teeth are drawn. Within us is One who by demonstration is greater than he.
