Satan is a liar!

     One thing that is hard for many of us to get a handle on is our self talk. Self talk is the thoughts we constantly tell our self. This talk is influenced by many things; our past, our insecurities, our fears, our circumstances, our beliefs, our assumptions, and our opinions. If we really took time to listen to our self talk, we would realize there is a lot of negative untruths bouncing around in our heads. Those thoughts can end up directing our actions and our lives. So in the end, we are allowing lies to set the course for our lives.
    Satan is called the father of lies. Satan is void of good and thus he is void of truth. One of Satan's tactics of  attack is to get us to buy his lies. He loves to tell us things like:
· Does God really love you?
· Does God really exist?
· You are worthless.
· You deserve more.
· You aren’t good enough for God.
· You are a failure.
· Why try.
· Nobody likes you.
· Those Christians would never accept you if they knew the real you.
     He lied to Eve and he lies to us. It takes discipline to recognize the Voice of Truth over the voice of lies! Then after we recognize the Voice of Truth, we must learn to stand on it and let it shield the lies flying our direction.  Like everything, it comes down to discipline.  Discipline in who you are going to listen to and discipline in what you are going to stand on.
     What are you listening to? What are you standing on?

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

 John 8:44 (The Amplified)
