I was just thinking..

I just posted on my facebook page, "How do you know that the devil is lying? If his mouth is moving he is telling a lie! I know some people like that!" It really made me think. Some folks don't even know HOW the devil "lies" to us. In John 8:44 Jesus said it! "When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it." He speaks to us, not in an audible voice, but through circumstances. When I got out of bed this morning he lied to me! He told me that I was "sick" because of symptoms in my body that he put there! It's a lie. God said that I have been redeemed (Galatians 3:13) from sickness. Jesus took it to the cross over 2000 years ago. I immediately have to remind the devil of that by opening my mouth and saying so. We HAVE to put him in his place or he'll just go nuts with his lies. A little earlier this morning I was watching TBN. They are doing a Praise-A-Thon. It has been an awesome few days! Even when I was gettin' my Word on, he opened his mouth again! He reminded me that we have needs that need to be met by a certain time and that time is getting close. Ticked me off!! I had to remind him that the God I serve and HONOR with the FIRST fruits of ALL of our income is NOT a liar! God said that if we tithed that HE would open the windows of Heaven and pour me out a blessing so big that I will NOT have room enough to receive it all! He also said that HE would meet all of our needs according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Again, I had to say this out of my mouth. Now, I sit here about to go get my babies from school and it's raining! I feel him try once again but I cut him off before he even gets started... A hedge of protection surrounds me because I abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91)!

We have to realized that each and every bad thought that comes to us doesn't come from God. It is the devil speaking to us! IT ISN'T GOD! If something is trying to steal from you, kill you or destroy you (John 10:10), it IS from the devil. BUT! BUT Jesus came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly (Also in John 10:10)! Remember that the next time the devil opens his mouth! Call him what he is, a liar! Call on Jesus... HE has you back!! Speak the Word and the Word only when the devil starts talking!

To God be the glory!
