Give no place to deception.

“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.”
 James 1:14(KJV)

Satan's strength is in deception. When satan came to Eve in the garden of Eden, he did not force her to eat the fruit which God forbade them to eat. He deceived her by seducing her and luring her to eat the fruit.

Eve fell to satan's deception because, the deception sown into her heart made her doubt the sincerity of God's Word. And whenever you doubt the sincerity of the Word of God, you become vulnerable to temptation.      

For instance, satan can sow thoughts of deceit into your heart and make you reason that you need more than just believing in the blood of Jesus and making  Him the Lord of your life for your sins to be forgiven. Anyone who falls for such deception, will continue to live in condemnation and guilt and remain in bondage to satan because his mind has been corrupted.

Don't yield your mind to the error of satan. The Bible says in Hebrews 8:12, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” The Bible says that God will not remember your sins and iniquity any more after you are born again. Praise God.

So, don't try to reason in your mind or question the possibility of God forgiving all your sins because of how bad you've been before you were saved. Rather you must learn to do as the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10:5, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

PRAYER
Thank you Dear Father for sending Jesus to die for me. I believe and I accept that His death paid for all my sins. I receive forgiveness and remission of sins in the blood of Jesus that cleanses me and makes me as white as snow. Therefore, I live free from all guilt and condemnation in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study read: 
1 Corinthians 16:13, Ephesians 6:14, Luke 12:35, 1 Thessalonians 5:8, 1 Peter 1:13.

DOING THE WORD
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1.
