Excerpt from the Word in Life Study Bible: ".Belief Systems : Philosophies and worldviews have a powerful effect on the way people live. By introducing lies into the very principles upon which entire societies are based, the Evil One wreak incredible havoc on the world" 2 Corinthians 11:3-6 calls us to question what we've accepted as truth, encouraging a vigilant examination of our beliefs and practices.Have you ever questioned the operating spirit of what is familiar to you? Asking "the why" behind your own motives and thought process? Have we confronted the subtle deceptions that may have infiltrated our lives?Some of us have latched on to ideas and philosophies that isn't the truth of God but yet it appears as so. The Bible tells us, satan disguises himself as a son of light, so don't be fooled by what appears to be good. The question should be, is it God? Paul encourages us to be students of the Word so we may rightfully divide the word of God with knowledgeIn Ephesians 6:10-13, we are reminded that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil. Often, these forces operate in the familiar, the comfortable, and the seemingly benign aspects of our lives.Join me as we delve into these scriptures and discuss how the enemy can use the familiar to keep us spiritually bound.
