Before the Sin, There Was Desire | Spirit Week Day 3 | Morning Manna

Welcome back to Morning Manna on RepentFM powered by DatSalt.com. This is Day 3 of Spirit Week, our special five-part biblical investigation into how spirits operate according to scripture. Yesterday we established that God rules the spiritual realm. Today we ask a more personal question: How does spiritual influence begin? Many people imagine spiritual influence starting with dramatic manifestations, possession, or supernatural events. But scripture starts somewhere much closer to home. It starts with desire. In Genesis 3, Eve wasn't forced. She was persuaded. In Matthew 16, Peter wasn't possessed. Yet Jesus rebuked the influence behind his words. In James 1, we're shown how desire grows into temptation, temptation grows into sin, and sin eventually produces death. Today's investigation explores a simple but powerful truth: The enemy often gains influence through agreement, not force.

As they continually practice righteousness or wickedness, they increasingly align themselves with a particular spirit, and scripture shows that God may eventually confirm the path they have chosen. This week we're investigating whether scripture supports that claim.
