The Devil made me do it

I'm in week two of my new Bible study. We are going through Beth Moore's "Breaking Free."

I love this study already, but her studies are quite meddlesome. She contends, and backs up scripturally as a side note, that any stronghold we allow Satan to have in our lives is based on lies.

And, only the truth we find in Christ has the power to set us free. Sin starts small. Then as it grows, so do the lies and the excuses. Bottom line for Satan, as long as we are not furthering the kingdom of God, he's happy.

And, if we are not living lives that reflect Christ, all the talk in the world is cheap, cheap, cheap.

Finally, to truly live in freedom, God's freedom, means two things. One is that you must continually be devouring and studying his holy Word. And second, you must have a meaningful prayer life to get to know your Savior.
