Standfirm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke ofslavery. (NKJV) 7 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying thetruth? 8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 9 Alittle leaven leavens the whole lump.Matt 12:43-45 (NIV) When an impure spirit comes out of a person, itgoes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then itsays, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds thehouse unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes andtakes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go inand live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than thefirst. (We have been set free but now we must fill the house LSOF)Col 1:13-14 (NIV) For he has rescued (Delivered) us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.2.
