Rachab, the spirit of wasting is not hard to overcome if you've first mastered the spirit of rejection. However, she's not going to take defeat quietly, so she marshals the other threshold guardians in a combined assault. Their primary agenda is to ensure we're tied up in an unbreakable double bind.

As we examine Scripture, we'll note that the double binds mentioned there always involve denial of access to the atonement. We can't lose our salvation, but we can lose some of its temporal benefits. Even Jesus didn't find dismantling such double binds easy, but He provides us with a way forward.
