It gives him an opening through which he can pour all the thoughts he pleases, paralyzing our will and leading us by the nose into bondage of sin. Passivity itself is sin, for it is the door that allows Satan entry. Rather than allow Christians to attempt answering Jesus' challenge of discipleship, Satan uses passivity to encourage our gliding along on the circumstances of the moment and evading the issue. Rebellion and passivity go hand in hand. If passivity is linked to rebellion, we must realize the seriousness of this in God's eyes.
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.
Many who are under passivity's bondage attempt to escape through prayer, fasting, or reading the Word. This is missing the point. There I was, at a Christian college, and my spiritual life was at a complete standstill. I suffered from a spiritual malaise, a deadness that tormented and frustrated me. I read the Word trying to break free of something I didn't even understand.
