Did you ever hear the story of the man who had a large house, but gave God one room? When the devil came to the house, he ravaged everything and buffeted the man. Then in frustration the man said to God, "I brought you into my house, thinking that with you here, I would be safe, secure and protected against the enemy. Why didn't you stop the devil?"
God answered him and said, "You gave me only this room, so I stayed in here and the devil could not come in. I can only take as much as you give me."
"Oh, I get it now; take these two additional rooms," the man said.
The following night, the devil came again and pummeled him. He went again to God in utter frustration, "I have given you three rooms now, how come you still allowed the devil in?" Then the Lord said, " The devil did not come to the rooms you gave me." The man finally received wisdom and said, "Okay, Lord, the whole house is yours; take everything!" Then the devil came again, but this time, God's angels were at the gate and he couldn't come in. For once, the man slept so peacefully. When he woke up, he said, " Lord, I had a wonderful sleep. Did you see the devil at all?" God said, I stopped him at the gate because the house is now mine."
Now you reading this message listen carefully, you should't only give the Lord your spirit,but also let Him have dominion over your body and your soul. If you let Him only into your spirit, He will be there, but you will still think the wrong thoughts and do the wrong things. You may not obey Him when He tells you.You will not allow His perfect will, though He lives in your spirit. Your body may be bruised and afflicted, because you haven't allowed Him take over your body. If, on the other hand, you gave Him your whole spirit, soul and body, He will prove himself to you and show Himself strong on your behalf.
