[Discoveries] 02-18-07 Lies and truth

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. -- Genesis 
3:4*/

God steps aside, the evil one steps forward and lies to the innocent.

We must understand that this is going to happen. It has happened to each 
of us. It happens to our children. I often see pain or behavior in my 
children (and in myself) that results from lies that slipped in. For 
example, for a while one of my children often got a stomach ache just 
before Wednesday night church. Why does this happen? Very simple. The 
enemy planted a lie. There was a belief that created that pain.

Eve was gullible. And so are children. If the enemy can tell them that 
they are not worthwhile, that they cannot be loved, that something bad 
is going to happen, or whatever, he will, and they will often believe it.

We lost our innocence. But that doesn't mean that God has lost. With our 
eyes wide open, fully aware of our own nakedness, we go back to God. He 
clothes us, and He tells us the truth.

That's what makes the difference. God Himself tells us the truth. And, 
when He does, lies lose their power in our lives.

Be encouraged!
