James 1:21 says that the implanted word will save our soul. The Amplified says, “So get rid of all uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted (in your hearts) contains the power to save your souls.”

Colossians 2:7 says, “Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abound in it with thanksgiving.” How do the lies of the enemy get rooted in our hearts?

In a recent email from a mentee she expressed her belief that God is responsible for all the evil that has taken place in our world. Therefore why would she want to trust Him? Do you recognize the lies?
