Back in the 70s I had an obscene phone caller. Each time he called I would thank God that he called because I knew the guy needed the Lord. Then I would start praising and thanking God for His righteousness and holiness, His love and for dying on the cross for us. I would go on for 5 minutes or so, sometimes singing in the Spirit His praises till he hung up on me. We don't have to listen to anything the enemy says. Just turning our attention to God and praising Him causes the enemy to flee. God inhabits the praises of His people. We are more than conquerors though Him who loved us.

I escape the lies by focusing on Jesus more and more. The more we focus on what devil does or what he can do, we allow him more in our lives. He knows we got a place for him in our mind that he can play with. Instead I try to fill my entire mind with Jesus and spiritual thoughts. That's one (and very effective) way to avoid being deceived.

He throws us tricks and shadows, and it is written that the time of tribulation he instigates will be cut short, else he deceive even the elect. We are not supposed to underestimate our enemy, but many times we give him far too much credit and think him more powerful than he actually is. God is on the throne and in control, and by His grace we are overcomers. What are some ways that you have learned to defeat the lie in your life? Let's share and encourage each other, not concentrating so much on the enemy's attacks but on God's goodness, greatness and protection. God bless Yes, the bible tells us that the devil is a liar. Unfortunately, just as Jesus had so too does the devil to this day have his disciples. Wolves in sheep's wool. And as Jesus told us, capable of even deceiving the saints with their viperous tongue.

Very sad but true. I have seen his agents in action, it's despicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
