Don't Let Satan Deceive You With His Lies

My Prayer: Heavenly Father, open our eyes so that we will not be deceived by Satan’s lies. Sometimes a course of action seems right when we don’t stop to think about Your “Truth” or the consequences that could result. Teach us to consider our choices in light of Your Word. In Jesus’ name I pray today, Amen.

Adam and Eve failed to heed God’s warning. Gen 2:16-17 “But the Lord God warned them, You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden – except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit you are sure to die”.

“They did not understand the reasons for His command. So they chose to act in another way that looked better to them. All of God’s commands are for our own good, although we may not understand the reason for them. People who trust God will obey because God asks them to, whether or not they understand why God commands it.”

“There are no harmless lies. We cannot expose ourselves to the world’s false, deceptive way of thinking and come out unscathed.”

Please Father God, show us any way that we have made ourselves more vulnerable to Satan’s lies by the kinds of influences we are choosing to allow into our life. Help us to fill our minds and heart with the truth. Amen.

“Satan is a powerful enemy. His primary weapon is deception. His lies are powerful. But there is something even more powerful than Satan’s lies – and that is the “Truth”.

Please Lord, God I pray that you will show us clearly what lies we have believed. Then show us the Truth that will set us free. Thank You for Your Word and for Your Holy Spirit that poins us to the Truth. Help us to claim Your Truth and to walk in Your Truth today and every day. Amen.

“There is a unique sense in which Satan targets us for deception. That is part of his strategy. He knows that if we buy into his deception, we will influence others to sin, and our sinful choices will set a pattern for subsequent generations to follow.”

“The forbidden fruit was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom. It if hadn’t seemed so attractive, do you think Adam and Eve would have fallen for the offer? Of course not. What makes Satan’s offers so alluring and so deceptive is that they look so right.”
