"A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart,.....For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." Luke 6:45 NIV
John Maxwell tells in his book, “The Leader Within You,” the story of the building of the Great Wall of China. They built it so high that no enemy could get over it. They built it so thick that no enemy could break through it and so long that no enemy could get around it.
They built this gigantic wall that still exists today. And then the people of China sat down behind the wall, feeling that their kingdom was secure. But in the first 100 years of the existence of the Great Wall, China was invaded 3 different times. The enemy didn’t come over the wall because it was too high. They didn’t break through or tunnel under because it was too thick. But each time China was invaded, the enemy came through gates that had been left open for them. Those who guarded the gates had been bribed. So they sold out to the enemy and the enemy invaded their land. What a lesson that should be to us!
This shows that the only way the devil can come through into your life is when you give him an entry point in. His best entry point is when he throws a question into your mind. One question can change and destroy everything. Bitterness, clamor, railing, malice and anger are also easy entry points for the devil. Don't let the devil take advantage of something you can do without. Be careful what you allow into your heart because it can make or break you.

Declare This: Dear Father, I belong to You. I will not allow any unhealthy question dictate my spirit and any kind of junk come into me. I will protect my being against any intruder in Jesus name Amen.
