Thought I'd share here a part of one of the daily
devoltionals I get in my email.
God will guard you from the evil one
Do I need to fear the devil's intrusion?
"But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, then the
Kingdom of God has arrived among you. For when Satan, who is
completely armed, guards his palace, it is safeâ€â€until someone who is
stronger attacks and overpowers him, strips him of his weapons, and
carries off his belongings." Luke 11:20-22 NLT
The Stronger Man
Do not be misled: Satan is strong in power and cunning. He has laid low
some of God's choicest servants because they underestimated him and
overestimated themselves. Even Samson with all his strength was no
match for Satan. Nor was Solomon with all his wisdom.
So how can you keep the devil and his buddies out of your "house"? A
man stronger than the one who controls you must deliver you. Only one
qualifies as stronger than Satan: Jesus Christ.
I want to make it clear that genuine Christians need not fear being
possessed or controlled by demons; Jesus is not into a time-sharing
program with Satan. The Bible tells us, "He who has been born of
God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him." (1 John 5:18)
Oh, Satan may knock on the doors and rattle the windows. He may
threaten to "huff and puff and blow the house down." But he cannot enter
because someone stronger has taken up residence. "Greater is
He that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4 KJV)

Philippians 4:7-9
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall
keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if
there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received
, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God
of peace shall be with you.
