7 Lies The Devil Wants You To Believe

Lie #7: The Devil wants you to believe that he's
stronger than God. I heard a lady say one time that
she wouldn't pray out loud because she was afraid
that the devil would intercept her prayer before it got
to God. That's giving the devil more power than
God, and that's a mistake.
Lie #6: The Devil wants you to believe that's this
world is all there is. That you'd better spend all your
time getting everything you can while you're here.
He wants you to get caught up in the material side of
life and forget about your spiritual side.
Lie #5: The Devil wants you to believe that you're all
alone. He knows that this leads to feeling helpless
and depressed, and then he can plant discouraging,
and hateful things in your mind. When you know you
have people who care about you, then you can fill
your mind with hope, and love, and giving, and
there's just no room for the Devil's darkness.
Lie #4: The Devil wants you to believe that free will
is a myth. He wants you to believe that you have no
control over how you think, or how you feel. When
he wins this battle, it leaves him to push you in any
direction that he chooses. It lets him use you to work
for him by the feeling that you can't fight difficult
thoughts, and difficult attitudes, and even difficult
circumstances.
Lie #3: The Devil wants you to believe that what you
do as one single person can't possible matter in the
long run. He wants you to not be aware of how your
attitude, or your thoughts, or your words or actions
might affect other people. If you believe you're not a
tool of God, then you won't monitor or safeguard
your mind, heart, and spirit, from the junk the Devil
dishes out every day. Then the Devil can use your
thoughts, your voice, your actions to work for him.
Lie #2: The Devil wants you to lose faith in love, in
the power of work, the belief in happiness. The Devil
wants you to stress out over things you can't control,
he wants you to burn out from no enjoyment in life's
simple pleasures. He wants you to put all your energy
into doing it all, because then you'll be angry and
resentful and confused and that's the kind of people
he works best with.
Lie #1: The biggest lie that the Devil is selling the
world is that he doesn't exist. If he's not real, you
don't need to be cautious of him, do you? You don't
need to be wary of the lies that he might plant. He's
not real. The Devil needs to get you to believe that
the Bible is unproven, that Jesus is just a story; that it
was applicable years ago, but there's nothing in it that
makes sense for your life today. If he can get you to
believe that, then he knows that you'll believe
anything he wants to tell you.
