Spiritual Warfare - Part 4
Descending into Brokenness
Romans 1:16–32
Step 1 – Rejection
Suppress the Truth
Step 2 Rebellion
- Did not Glorify Him
- Ungrateful
- Invert Truth – Good is Bad, Bad is Good
There are no Moral Restraints in Human Philosophy
2 Timothy 3:13
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Satan – ultimate deceiver and deceived
Idolatry = Devil Worship
1 Corinthians 10:20
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
Step 3 Rationalization
Step 4 – Reprobation
Man Can’t Stop Sinning
- People don’t start in ignorance and move toward God. They move away from God in judgment.
- People descend in brokenness.
People are always the victims in this war. God is trying to save them from their own selves.
