the light because the light has the power to bring freedom. We come into the light when we agree with God. As long as Satan can keep us from understanding—and therefore agreeing with—what God says about money and how we should teach about it, the entire subject will stay tied to his strongholds. People will not understand what God requires of them in their giving, so they will never be able to fully mature in their own relationships with Jesus, and the church will never be able to be properly financed.
