The root of all your problems (part 3)

In every situation take the shield of faith, and with it you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Ephesians 6:16  HCSB

The root of all of your problems is a lie; the source of all of your problems is a liar.  

Who do you always believe?
God or Satan?
Creator or creation?
God or yourself?

Satan, the master of deception, masks his deceptions in the first person, as if they are your own perceptions or emotions, as if they are your own thoughts.  His goal is to have you believe in him by believing in yourself, a mere creature, instead of believing in the Creator.  All lies, every lie from the father of lies, come to this:

Who do you always believe, no matter what?

Your unwavering faith in God is an invincible shield, 
and you wield an invincible sword, the word of God:  the truth.  

Hear and believe only the truth.
Ignore and disbelieve every contradiction of the truth.

What problem do you have right now?
At the root of that problem is a lie, and the source of that lie is the liar, the devil.

Find the lie by the Spirit of truth, and exchange the lie for the truth instead of the truth for the lie.

If you agree, pray with me,

Father, in the name of Jesus, by the Spirit of truth, guide me into all truth, revealing every lie that I believe, so that I may exchange lies with the truth.  Amen.
