The devil is nicknamed the Father of Lies. The only things
that come out of him are lies.
So why do we believe them?
Why do we allow lies to shape our existence or our futures?
We don't accept lies from anyone, for instance if my sister
lies to me that is unacceptable and I wouldn't appreciate it or receive it.
The devil’s lies on the other hand are being received as
truth everyday. His lies are more cunning and sophisticated; they’re not the
type of lies you can always pick up on. His lies are subtle and they are spoken
into our lives when we are at our weakest moments. I believe this to be true
because I have major weak moments ALL THE TIME. I have battled depression and
low self-esteem since I was a teenager. At the most weakest moments in my life
that's when I heard the lies so loud and clear and because I didn't hear
anything to combat those lies they became my truth. Even today those lies replay
in my head like a broken record and somehow they are shaping who I am and my
future.
God is not too happy with that! Only because he has this
Massive, detailed, thoughtful, expected end for my life and I am not accepting
or walking in it.
God said to me enough is enough. Work through your stuff. (I
don't hear audible voices…just thoughts; he speaks to me through thoughts.)
3 major lies that have affected me in major ways although
this is personal but I want to be transparent with you all.
1. YOU WILL NEVER BE A LEADER
2. YOU ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL
3. YOU WILL NEVER GET MARRIED OR HAVE CHILDREN
These were deposited as lies but have become my reality, in
my head. I am learning everyday these are not true but in the back of my mind…
By writing the lies out they are being EXPOSED and in this
process they are being proved as lies (For instance I was a praise &
worship leader for quite some time and clearly satan was wrong about that one).
The only thing that can cancel out these lies is the TRUTH that IS Christ Jesus
and his word.
I am the way THE TRUTH and the life – John 14:6
If he is the truth then we need to get to know him and his
truth. God has showed me that I don't believe his truth whole-heartedly because
I don't know him very well. God expects and desires a relationship with us. In
our evolving relationship with Christ we get to know his truth and we get
grounded in it. So whenever the lies come because you have such a close
intimate relationship with Christ those lies, opinions, suggestions don't stand
a chance to the truth that is embedded in you.
I don't know what lies the enemy has spoken into your life
but do a heart check often. Make sure you are not living the lie as if it is
truth. When a lie is spoken over and over again it begins to take on the
appearance of truth until it becomes true to you. A Lie is often easier to
receive than the truth, let that one soak and marinate in your members. Lol.
