Read Pro. 20:13
There is no such thing as coasting in our spiritual life. We are either gaining ground or losing it. Today's scripture tells us not to love sleep or we will end up in poverty. The word poverty in the Hebrew means to drive out the previous tenants and possess their place. So if we fall asleep spiritually we will be possessed by evil spirits. Jesus talked about this in Matt. 12. It was the sabbath, a time when they were to be resting but Jesus was healing people and casting out devils. The Pharisees had a problem with him healing and casting out devils on the Sabbath. Jesus set them straight by reminding them of when David was hungry he ate the shewbread which was only allowed for the priests and he lived. Then he told them how the priests profaned the sabbath by working in the temple and were blameless. He went on to explain that when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he leaves for a time but comes back to see if their is any room for him. If that man has not replaced that evil with the righteousness of God then it will come back with 7 other spirits more wicked than himself and they will enter and live there. So we have to be constantly bringing in the kingdom of God in our lives by reading his word and filling our spirit with thoughts of faith and victory. Then we will possess our land and gain more territory.
Lord, open our eyes to doors we have opened to the devil so that we can close them and occupy our rooms with treasures of heaven.
