Exodus 20:3-6 Idols produce vanity and lead to emptiness. Idols in our life come about by deception basically. Anyone can have an idol in his/her life. An idol is anything we have a preference for over God. An idol is a thing we prefer to give our time, attention, and strength to over a relationship with God. There's idolatry which is the form of worship given to a graven image, a carved image, a bowing down to an idol. God frowns at this. Psalm 115:5-8 An idol is anything we enjoy more than the presence of God. There are idols that are outright evil and there are idols that are not evil in themselves but have become sinful to the individuals who have them because they have been prioritized over God. An example of this is money, when money takes the place of the love of God in the human heart it becomes an idol to that heart. 1 Timothy 6:10 Idols can come into our heart through misplaced priorities, the strength of the flesh, the lure of this world, and our human weakness. Idols a...

  Galatians 3:1-3 In our text passage we see the Apostle Paul asked the Galatians who had bewitched them. There are all sorts of bewitched people in the world today unfortunately. A fact about bewitched people is that many of them don't understand the battle they have come into, the fight against their destiny and the fact that their minds have been hijacked through deception. What many people have settled for as their fate is not God's will for them. Bewitchment makes a person do foolish things. Darkness (the gates of hell) has many strategies. We must not be ignorant of the wiles of the enemy, bewitchment is one of them. 2 Corinthians 2:11 To be bewitched is simply to be deceived and under a contrary influence. Bewitchment brings a dark presence into a persons life or aspects of a person's life. Bewitchment blinds the eyes, makes people misuse opportunities, makes people lose favor with others and makes a person act contrary to the ways of mental dignity. When Paul wrote ...

 John 1:4,5 The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Darkness has been an ancient age-long force on this earth. The whole world is under the influence of darkness except for the few who walk with God and truly know Him. Psalm 74:20 We see darkness on the scene during the account of creation before God called forth the manifestation of light. Genesis 1:2 God created light and called it good. Genesis 1:4 Light is better than darkness, light is the answer to darkness, and light gets rid of darkness. Darkness connotes that which is evil, hidden, ungodly, contrary, and harmful. Darkness is a force that infiltrates the souls of men. People full of darkness or possessed with darkness are puppets in the enemy's hand. Darkness is a spirit. Darkness is a realm, it is the realm of the enemy, it is Satan's realm. Darkness is also called the gates of hell. Darkness or gates of hell is the kingdom, structure, government, or realm of Satan. Matthew 16:18 Darkness...

  John 1:14 Jesus was a living, walking, embodiment of the grace of God. He was full of grace. The very words of His mouth were graceful words that were full of grace. Grace is essential to your greatness journey. Every hero of faith in the Bible is a beneficiary of God's grace. 1 Corinthians 15:10 Grace is necessary to make the most of life and to attain greatness. Since grace is so important to our spiritual walk and human life, it is worth understanding what grace is. Some have defined grace as the unmerited favor of God. Others have explained grace to mean God's Riches At Christ's Expense. Some say grace is a mystery of God in a human life. Others say grace is the working of God's Spirit in human lives. All those definitions are part of grace and none of them is wrong. Grace is an all encompassing word, there are many aspects to grace. Grace is from God, and grace can grow. Luke 2:52 John 1:16 Grace can simply be defined as the God factor. Grace is the God factor in...
