Truth or Snare


• A LIE BELIEVED AS TRUTH WILL AFFECT YOUR LIFE AS IF IT WERE TRUE.The devil: When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.Jesus: Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.THE ENEMY’S MIND GAMES• THE ENEMY IMITATES.And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.• THE ENEMY DECEIVES.But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.THE RENEWED MIND1) RECOGNIZE THE EMEMY’S LIES.There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.• LIES ABOUT YOURSELF.o My worth is determined by what I do and what others think of me. o I am the way I am; I can’t change. oIf you really knew me, you wouldn’t like me. • LIES ABOUT THE MEANING OF LIFE AND HAPPINESS.o Money provides security and happiness. o To be happy, I must be married. o I must be in control to be happy. • LIES ABOUT GOD.o The more I do for God, the more He will love and bless me. o God will never do that for me. o What I’ve done is too bad for God to forgive. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator…2) RESIST THE ENEMY’S LIES.Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.…"Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."3) RENEW YOUR MIND WITH TRUTH.Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
