### Iniquity, Strongholds, and the Dangers of Lust

In this continuation of a Bible study, the speaker delves into the definition of "**iniquity**," explaining that it is an internal "meditation upon perversity" that, when unchecked, can lead to a state of being "past feeling" and a surrender to lasciviousness and uncleanness. The message uses James chapter 1 to illustrate how a person is "carried away and enticed by his own lust" and how this lust, when conceived, gives birth to sin. The talk highlights that iniquity creates a "**stronghold**" in the heart, taking dominion over a person and even clinging to a physical place. The discussion concludes by emphasizing that these deep-seated iniquities are more powerful than we are, and only the power of God can deliver us from them.

The video concludes by asserting that the iniquities of the fathers can cling to a place, as seen with Jerusalem and the people of Daniel, causing them to become a reproach. The ultimate takeaway is that iniquity is a deep-seated meditation on perversity that can have dominion over us, but only the power of God can remove this spiritual stronghold and grant true freedom.

Our belief is that God desires relationship with man, the species. Whether Bible teaching, prayer, our redemption, making disciples—whatever the spiritual activity, relationship with man is and has been Father’s goal. He, as Creator, has the right to tell the created creature, man, how life is to work. His Word is often focused on how to have a relationship with Him, why we lack that relationship, and the reasons for the lack. The most commonly taught reason for loss of relationship with God is sin; but there are two other reasons given for relationship loss—iniquity and transgression. These teachings have been found by many to be vital in their understanding and the seeking of deeper relationship with God.
