Message
Many-a-times, the devil whispers things into our ears to deceive us so that we will not walk in the identity and authority that God has given to us. This is why it is necessary to know who you truly are in Christ. A king's son that does not know who he is will beg for food even in his father's palace. You must know who you are, and you can only know this when you see yourself the way God sees you. How does God see you?
If you are confronted by a situation that seems tough and the devil is trying to tell you that you will not win, remember what the Bible says in Romans 8:37: "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." Even though that situation may have conquered some people in the past, it cannot conquer you because you are more than a conqueror through Christ who loved you and loves you forever. Sometimes, the devil will tell you that you are not good enough to be at the top or achieve your goals. Laugh and quote Deuteronomy 28:13 to him: "And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; ..." The Bible says that you will be above only, so there is no space for you at the bottom; the only space available for you as a child of God is above, and you will take your place, in Jesus' name.
The devil can say whatever he wants, but when you know the truth, you will not listen to him or accept his lies. When you know the real you in Christ, you will ignore whatever the devil says because you know that he is a liar (John 8:44). As you ignore him, your actions and thoughts will also follow suit. You will not let his lies dictate what you do or what you don't. His words must not shape your thoughts Concerning what you believe about yourself or not.
The devil is too small to control the thoughts and actions of a believer. Your living, moving and being must be in God and not in any other counsel as we see in Acts 17:28:
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Bible In One Year:
Ezekiel 5-8
Hymn:
I Am So Glad That Our Father In Heav'n
Key Point:
When you know your true identity in the Scriptures, the devil will not be able to deceive you again.
I am so glad that our Father in heaven
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus love me.
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.
