Deep dives
Identifying the Voice of a Lie
Lies give labels that contradict scripture, are mixed with some truth, and offer the easiest route. They make the next seem unattainable, cause us to shrink back, and second guess God's truth.
The Power of Lies
Lies spread, sever, suffocate, and murder. They spread through carriers of gossip, sever our beliefs, suffocate hope, and murder blessings and promises.
The Deception of the Enemy
The enemy uses lies to infect our minds and distort how we see ourselves and others. He attacks our meditations with falsehood and tries to get us to see through a lens of deception, distraction, and discouragement.
Overcoming Lies with God's Truth
We can overcome lies by tearing off the lens of deception, recognizing false teachings, and discerning the voice of a lie. We need to rely on the power of God's Word and identify lies that contradict scripture.
Embracing the Truth and Rejecting Lies
We need to embrace the truth of who we are in Christ and reject the lies that try to define us. By realizing that the devil is a liar and recognizing his tactics, we can find freedom in the truth of God's Word.
The enemy attempts to deceive us through discussion to ultimately affect the sobriety of our decisions, therefore we must be able to hear from God personally. This can seem difficult at times, not because God isn't speaking, but due to the lies that have already been spoken to us first which are suffocating our ability to decipher truth from lies.
