The Devil is a Liar
A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood. ~ William Shenstone
Scripture:
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44
“You are not good enough. God doesn't Love you. If he did, he wouldn't have allowed that to happen to you. You can't do that. You are not smart enough. You don't belong here. Your wife/husband doesn't love you. They are just using you.”
Saints, have any of the above statements popped into your head at one time or another? Do you sometimes doubt that God loves you? Do you ever wonder does God really hear your prayers?
Well, today I just want you to know, that yes, God does hear your prayers, but so does satan. You see, satan is a liar and the truth is not in him. He will often time plant seeds of doubt in your mind in an attempt to turn you away from the word of God.
God has already told you, he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not allow negative thoughts or words to separate you from the love of God.
God Loves you and so do I.
Be Blessed
Prayer:
Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before the throne of grace rebuking satan. We already know that You are with us this day and everyday. Lord, help us to be strong in the face of adversity. Place Your hedge of protection around all of Your Saints and their families today. When negative thoughts appear, we will rebuke them in the name of Jesus. When we begin to doubt Your word, help us to remember that You are with us always. Today, I will learn to starve my fears and doubts as I feed my faith. I will hide Your word in my heart so that I may draw strength from it when the time comes. Father, we Love You. We thank You. We humble ourselves before You, not only this day, but each day we are allowed to come before the throne of grace. Father, we ask this and all things in the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Amen.
