How To Counter Satan’s Lies!
"Your word I have hidden
in my heart, that I might
not sin against You."
Psalm 119: 11
What do we do when we get
bad information?
We go to the source: the warranty, the instruction
book, the letter, or person. Bad information only
leads to bad outcomes. Nowhere is that truer than
in the spiritual realm.
Since Satan traffics only in lies (John
8:43-44),
he's more than ready to feed us bad information
about God. And his lies can only lead to a bad
outcome in our relationship with God.
Satan gave Jesus false information when they met
in the
wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). Satan lied about
God and His Word three times. But Jesus countered
his lies with a correct rendering of God’s truth with
three verses from Deuteronomy.
Jesus quoted the Scriptures from memory and
rebuffed Satan’s temptations. Jesus exemplified
Psalm 119:11 hiding God’s Word in one’s heart
to avoid sin.
Are you in a daily habit of taking in and
memorizing God’s Word? Truth is the
only way to counter Satan’s lies.
"The truth of Scripture
demolishes speculation."
