The enemy is very good at making you think his thoughts, then making you think you thought them, and then accusing you for thinking them.
The Holy Spirit teaches us by bringing to remembrance God’s Word to swat his lies away (John 14:26). This is the only real defense we have against the devil’s attacks:
- I’m not forgiven.
- I’m all alone.
- I’m so afraid.
- I’m worthless.
- God is disappointed in me.
- God is upset with me.
Do you know the Scripture to use against these lies? Do you know which sword to wield? (Eph. 6:17)
Tomorrow we will look at these fiery darts and how the Holy Spirit can help you extinguish them.
If you suffer from these sort of attacks, but you can’t make it and you would like my notes, IM me; I would be happy to send them to you.
