Steven Furtick - Show The Devil The Door
I'm trying to get you to show the Devil the door. How do you get him to leave your life? Begin to list all of the things God did that you've been forgetting about. When I lift my hands like this, I'm not just lifting; I'm listing. "One, he brought me out of bondage. Two, he brought me out of sin. Three, he broke my chains and set me free. Four, he put my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. Five, he spoke peace to my storm".
When the Devil shows you your deficiency, show him the door. You have the perfect comeback. Jesus said to the Devil, "Away from me". He was showing you what to do. He could do this because of who he is, and he's in you. Greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world. "The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come that you might have life and have it to the full". Or King James: "Have it more abundantly". Tell the Devil, "Get thee hence". "I have life. This is my life. God gave it to me, and I'm going to live it for him".
But there's another thing Jesus said just before he said "The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come that you might have life." Where Jesus said, "I am the door". When the Devil shows you your failure this week, show him your door. When he tells you, "You don't have a right to pray. You know how unworthy you are," show him your door. Don't even argue with the Devil. Don't tell him you're worthy, you're great, you're awesome, because you and I both know that isn't true. You and I both know that at your highest you're not God and at your lowest you're not the Devil.
So, when the Devil comes to try to rock you with that stuff this week and try to get you to give up on what God gave you, show him your door. "Let me show you the door, Devil. Let me remind you what Jesus did for me. Let me tell you how he bled for me. Let me tell you how he suffered on Golgotha's hill. Let me tell you how he sweat with drops of great blood until the point where he was in agony, saying, 'Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done.'"
When the Devil shows you what you're up against, show him your door. Your door is Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life. When the Devil shows you your disease, show him your door. Say, "By his stripes I am healed. I have a door".
