We know they're lies the minute the nasty words tickle our ear drums.
We also know they're lies the minute they fall from our tongue,
like lukewarm coffee spewed out in uselessness.
Yet, we still listen.
We still repeat.
We don't rebuke,
but believe those lies.
Satan tells us lies about ourselves.
Satan tells us lies about other believers.
He's doing his job, because he's the
liar
deceiver
evil one
enemy
evil one
ruler of this world.
We need to do our job,
as children of the Light.
We must use the Word of God,
our sword,
to ward off the lies of the lying liar.
Believe the Truth of the Lovely One who is Truth.
John 1:17
"...grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."
John 14:6
Jesus said to him,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life."
John 17:17
"Sanctify them by Your truth.
Your word is truth."
You can't be free from the lies,
until you know the Truth.
The lie I was spewing fell off my unthankful lips
into the ears of my husband.
"My life is so hard!
Why can't any good things ever happen to me?"
I knew this was a lie,
but I was pitching a spiritual fit.
Like Peter, I took my eyes off the Lord
and was sinking beneath the surging waves.
When I repented, I decided to replace the lie with a truth.
I clicked open my Online Bible and typed in the words
"good things."
Do ya' think ya' already know what the Lord told me?
Matthew 7:11
"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father who is in heaven give
good things
to those who ask Him!"
Luke 1:53
"He has filled the hungry with
good things"
Hebrews 9:11
" But Christ came as High Priest of the
good things
to come"
Proverbs 28:10
"...but the upright shall have
good things
in possession."
I have
good things
and that's the
truth
I'm going to believe.
This is so true!! You have blessed me, as usual through your faithful posting.
ReplyDelete"That which is good...." I have to remind myself to "think on" those good things a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe honesty you share in your blogs makes it that much more challenging and convicting to me. You say what I try to LIE to myself about in my own life sometimes.
ReplyDeletePraying that you will continue to seek and find the goodness He has for you.
Thankful HE is faithful, patient and never out of good things.
Amen sister - and soon and very soon we are going to see the King, soon and very soon we are going to see the King, soon and very soon we are going to see the Kind - Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we are going to see the KING!!! xxx
