Now you are under the power of someone or something else. Look at your daily routine and give this some careful thought. To be bound by anyone or anything other than the Lord is totally unacceptable. Sin enslaves, and it does so in at least three ways. First, sin enslaves to itself, a point we have emphasized again and again.
Sin leads to more sins and to worse sins, each one more entrapping and more binding than the last.
Second, sin enslaves to the flesh. When we habitually sin, addictions are created and bodily cravings come alive with a vengeance. Harmful mental habits are formed and destructive patterns of living are birthed. Third, and worst of all, sin enslaves to demons. Demons are the epitome of everything ugly and destructive, yet when you give yourself to sin, you give yourself to them.
