Lies, Lies, LIES

Lies, Lies, LIES

The Enemy will not see you vanish into God’s company without an effort to reclaim you!-C.S. Lewis

When we hear the word lies it just sets a negative tone. I don’t believe any of us like to be surrounded by lies, we don’t enjoy the company of those that continually tell lies, and if you have ever told a lie it causes you to feel saddened that you have said such a thing. (or at least hopefully you feel sad about it).

The thought of lying makes me think of the beloved childhood story Pinocchio. Pinocchio is a tale enjoyed by generations, yet what if it was true! What IF OUR noses grew every time we told something that was less than the truth.  What a sight that would be?!

The truth is none of us are perfect, and each of us at times have found ourselves in that age old situation of having to dig ourselves out of a pit that we dug ourselves in! And what about those times in life when dealing with others who are telling lies about YOU that just aren’t true!!

 It’s just not fun is it?

In the Word of God, we are reminded that our number one enemy is the devil. The Word says that he is the father of all lies. (John 8:44)

Everyday even as believers we have to contend with the lies of the enemy! He tries to convince us that we are defeated, that we will never make it and he wants you to live a life that is lonely and miserable. He wants you to believe that your miracle is never coming and that God must have nothing good planned for you.  The devil will tell you whatever lie he can to detour you from receiving all that God has for you! Don’t believe it!! The things the devil is saying to you and about you are NOT THE TRUTH!

 God’s Word is truth and declares that you are a “Child of the King”! 

Psalm 126:3 The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

I absolutely love this promise in the Word!!  Jeremiah 29:11(NET) For I know what I have planned for you, says the Lord. ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope.’  ( There is that HOPE again that we shared about in last week’s devotion!! J)

What are you choosing to believe about yourself and your situation today? Let’s choose to believe the Words of the Lord!! Even though your situation and circumstance may seem dark today, His light can shine through the darkness to bring VICTORY!!

Be reminded that as we love the Lord he is working all things for our GOOD! (Romans 8:28)

Dear friends, Flee from the lies and embrace the TRUTH today!!!

God Bless!
