If you’re caught in habitual sin you’re either living under the law or oppressed by demons.
If you’re living under the law, stop it. Why have you tried to complete in the flesh what was started by the Spirit?
If it’s demons oppressing you – stand up to them. Don’t be afraid of them and don’t ignore [...]
Please don’t be offended that I say one possibility for habitual sin is demonic attacks. And don’t think I’m giving you permission to say, “the devil made me do it” to absolve yourself from any responsibility.
If you have named Jesus your Lord, He has given you a new name and His authority. You don’t have [...]
We’ve been discussing the possibility of living “under the law” when we find ourselves living like Romans 7 is the natural way for life – For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the [...]
Here are the questions you can ask each week in your accountability groups. They are available in the pamphlet “How to Be Accountable for Your Destiny” If Tiger Woods would have had two good guys to hold him accountable for his gifts and destiny, do you think he would have caused his family and fans [...]
I first came across accountability groups with Neil Cole’s “Cultivating a Life for God”. Over the years I’ve been involved with many and have grown with each one.
Accountability Groups are safe places to share your struggles with sin. The discussion in the group stays with the group. You’ll encourage and exhort each other.

If you think you may be living “under the law” – if you’re attitudes can be characterized by Judgement over Grace, Works over Relationship, Shame over Identity there are a few easy steps for you to take.
1. Recognize [...]
In the last post on this topic I quickly defined what living “under the law” looks like, so you can know if that’s why you’re so attracted to living like Paul’s illustration of Romans 7. I used the following criteria:
Judgement over Grace
Works over Relationship
Shame over Identity
It’s time I let you know what I mean by [...]
If you go back a few posts you’ll see I’m writing up understanding Romans 7. It’s the passage that makes so much sense to us when we are caught in habitual sin -
For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the [...]
Now before you think I’m setting up a list of rules that none of us can ever live up to, I need to talk about the freedom you have as a child of God.
Paul tells the church in Corinth four times what they have permission to do and he outlines three guidelines to help them [...]
We need to confess our sins to God. That is, we need to agree with Him that it was sin. It wasn’t a “mistake” or “stupidity” or “oops” or…it was sin. It separated us from Him and alienated us from others. It’s not in our nature to sin any longer. We are no longer under [...]
