If you answered “Yes” to any of the questions in the table above, you are still living in bondage to the law. Each “Yes” indicates an area in which you still rely upon ceremonies, traditions, rituals, rules, regulations, your own attitudes, beliefs, strengths, customs or religious doctrine to determine your identity. And your identity is fake. Satan is stealing your true identity.
