82% of Christians Fall Into This Demonic Trap With Toxic People

  • Ever stayed quiet to “keep the peace”?
  • Forgiven without real repentance?
  • Stayed in a toxic relationship thinking it was “Christlike”?

 👉 You could be caught in a spiritual trap, one that feels godly but keeps you bound.

 5 Common Spiritual Traps:

1️⃣ Confusing Restoration with Reconciliation

  • Jesus restored Peter after repentance (John 21:15–17).
  • Forgiveness is required — reconciliation is not.
     📖 Luke 17:3
    👉 Don’t confuse release with return.

2️⃣ Mistaking Passivity for Patience

  • Saying “I’m waiting on God” can actually be fear in disguise.
  • Jesus confronted sin and set boundaries.
     📖 Ephesians 4:15
    👉 Patience waits in truth. Passivity avoids in fear.

3️⃣ People-Pleasing Disguised as Humility

  • Wanting to “seem Christlike” may actually be approval addiction.
     📖 Galatians 1:10
    👉 Real humility is faithful, not fearful of rejection.

4️⃣ Trying to Be Someone’s Savior

  • Helping can turn into rescuing — and drag you down.
     📖 Mark 6:11
    👉 You’re not the Holy Spirit. Only Jesus saves.

5️⃣ Letting Guilt Override Discernment

  • Guilt says “stay” when God says “go.”
     📖 Proverbs 3:21
    👉 Let the Spirit, not guilt, guide your decisions.
