Being that a lot of things are being discussed there, I especially wanted to focus on this portion of the discussion.

I was reading in Acts 5, concerning Ananias and Sapphira. I found it interesting that Peter would say in Acts 5:3, "But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

I heard Jeff Arnold saying, once, that we didn't understand. It is the Devil that is working with people's minds.

It seems, IMO, that we would normally view Ananias and Sapphira as just being selfish and carnal, but the Bible says that "Satan filled their hearts to lie.""

So, is everything we do influenced by Satan?

Here's a post I was working off of - courtesy of Digging!




Thanks for the imput!
Good thread, PO...

While reading the comments of others, this Scripture dropped in my inner beings...

James 1:14

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
KJV

Not sure where this verse is leading us here, but wanted to share it anyway...
