Have you ever been lied to? I’m pretty sure you have been…a lot. If not by people in your life, just turn on the news & listen to someone in politics promise you something. Good chance, at least one of their promises they have no desire to see it through. I kid, but really, people lie all the time.
It was the first act if Lucifer did when he met Eve…he lied to her. His lie caused her to believe something that she knew as truth to be exactly the opposite. The snake convinced her that God was not telling the truth…that Our Father doesn’t have our best interest at heart.
Deception is Satan’s greatest weapon. He uses it over and over on us humans and we all too often fall for it. It’s because we are not exactly sure of who we truly are. Satan knows this and uses it against us.
The question we all must ask ourselves is – how many things that we inherently believe about ourselves is actually a lie? Some of the very things we are told by our family, friends, and society actually are not true.
If you were ever told you aren’t good, you’re not enough, you’re not beautiful, you aren’t important or you’re not smart enough – you were lied to. You were created for a purpose, a plan and a destiny. You are hand crafted by the God of the universe.
It’s time to start walking in who you truly are – a Child of the Most High God. Made for a reason and loved unconditionally. Anyone who tells you differently is a lair.
Start walking in the authority God has given you. First step to do that is declare that you are enough & denounce any lie you have been told. Go to God in prayer and ask Him to heal the parts of your life that were wounded by these lies.
Let’s look at some scripture about how to handle the Lie-maker of the world:
“Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.”
Luke 10:19 NLT
“But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!”
Isaiah 54:17 NLT
“So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
James 4:7 NLT
Let’s humble ourselves before God so He can continue to do great work through us. In doing that, God will give us authority & power to walk through snakes and not be harmed.
Be blessed my friends! Remember who & whose you are!!
Prayer: Lord, help me decern the lies from the truth, even from my past. Start to cleanse me of the scars I carry from the lies I once believed. Help me understand who you truly made me to be. I love you. Thank you. Amen.
Boldly Radiant
