Destructive Lies

Who is really in control of your thoughts?



Satan often uses his lies to take over our minds. Your mind is a battlefield, you have to realize this and learn how to control what it is saying. If we take a second and remember that through Jesus Christ, God has provided us with everything we need to stand against Satan’s plans then you can control your mind against him. As stated in Ephesians 6:11-17, Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Put on all of God’s armor. Then you can stand against Satan’s evilness.


Before God created our world, He created angels (Job 38:4-7). God made a magnificent angel named Lucifer. He was beautiful, powerful, and good. But Lucifer became proud, and he wanted to be like God (Isaiah 14:12-14). His pride was sin. It is the first sin that we know of. Because of his sin, Lucifer could no longer live with God, so he was thrown out of heaven (Ezekiel 28:17). Lucifer chose to become God’s enemy. His name was changed to Satan, or the devil. Satan has no power to battle God, so he has chosen to battle against God’s best creation, us, Gods children. I am telling you this because I need you to see why there is a war going on within our minds, we have a powerful former angel who knows he cannot battle with God, for he (Lucifer) was defeated and thrown out of Heaven, so what he does is prowl around looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8), and when we allow our minds to wander from God, we are giving Satan the power to take over, because he is stronger than we are in our own. However if we look back in the bible at the story of David facing Goliath, we see that we do not fight with our own power. God is always with us and He has given us HIS weapons to battle with. The truth is what God gives us so that we can tell what the devil’s lies are. If we know God’s truth inside and out, we will never fall for one of Satan’s lies.


“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” We cannot put on truth until we have put our trust in the One who is Truth - Jesus (Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.)


By abiding in Him and in His word, our minds become lined up with truth. We will be armed against the devil’s lies.

You can either believe Satan’s Lies or God’s Truth.

The Choice is Yours!
