Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too. Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway. We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20. We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
Speaking of lies! Oh I wish I had the time to tell you all the lies that Satan has whispered to me and even yelled at me through the years. I bet some of you would have some good stories to tell too!
I have a friend that says, "If you will lie then you will steel" and I think there is a lot of truth to that! Satan is a liar and a thief! John 8:44 says "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it".
A very good book that I've read and I actually co-taught this study some years back was called, "The Lies that Women Believe and the Truth that sets them Free" by Nancy Leigh Demoss. Excellent read and was a great Bible Study. The old saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"....well, this old dog was taught some new tricks through this book and study. One being to be aware of the lies that Satan tells me.
I am giving away a copy of this book. All you have to do is comment! You can comment on my blog or if you are friends with me on FB you can comment there as I post my Wednesday in the Word on FB weekly. Everyone that comments will have their name put in the basket and one name will be drawn for the winner this Sunday. If you are a local gal I will catch up with you and if not I will mail the book to you. This book is worth your time to read! God's truth will set you free!

Satan loves to tell us that we are worthless and that we do not matter to anyone or to Christ. He tells us that God is not enough and we need more. He whispers to us that we are weak. He looks us straight in the face and tells us that God does not love us. Oh my friends Satan lies to us about things that we may not have ever considered to be a lie!
He tells us...You can't help the way you are!
He tells us...You have your rights!
He tells us...God's ways are too restrictive.
He tells us...It is your responsibility to change my mate.
He tells us...If you submit to authority you are weak and will be miserable.
He tells us...Your sin isn't really that bad.
He whispers to us...
He whispers to us...
"Well if you feel it then it must be true".
"Your circumstance will never change".
"God can't forgive what you have done".
And the list could go on and on and on!
The truth is that Jesus is the Word of truth and the author of Salvation and He cannot lie! (John 14:6)
Before you believe a lie from Satan go to the Word...the Word of God. Ask God to show you His truth and He will.

ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! Oh, yes, ma'am, I've been told a few lies and even believed a few of Satan's lies over the years. In my olden years I'm beginning to know the difference! Thank you for your Wednesday in the Word and your visits.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
This is a great post! I've listened to Satan's lies through the years and have fed my spirit to grow and recognize many of them. Thank you for the reminder today that we need to be aware of whose voice we believe. This book looks wonderful - hers always are.

I'm pretty sure I have been listening to his lies this week. This morning on my walk I was "thinking/feeling" that I'm not appreciated by my family that they take everything for granted. LIes! LIES! Thank you for this timely post. It's happing a lot to me the past couple weeks. God puts His voice right where He knows I will hear it! :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this one!

That is one fantastic book you are giving away, Cindy. When I first saw the title of your post I immediately thought of that book...then I scrolled down as I read and lo and behold! There it was! GREAT choice for a Giveaway!
ReplyDeleteCindy, sounds like a wonderful book! Satan is so clever and knows exactly what our weaknesses are and that's where he strikes! I will NOT let him convince me!!

Always good, solid posts that I enjoy, Cindy.Thank you! And thanks for visiting me and leaving a sweet comment. ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think satan has been working overtime in the lies department for my part. With the publication of my book this month--then a delay due to a factory error in the manufacture of them--I feel like I will forever be in this limbo of "wanna be" who never gets to touch her goals. Add to that being sick for the first time in three years this week--cold/flu/whatever--I am trying to practice what I just preached about my wool socks on Sunday. Gah!
Bless you, milady!!
Joy!

Hi Cindy! Looks like I visited on a great day! That book looks really good...I could use it! I am currently recovering from a broken leg, and I have time to read an inspiring message.
ReplyDeleteI really resonated with the satan thought of 'if you feel it, it must be true'. I used to believe that. Now I realize, at least some of the time, that he can use my feelings against me! He is a wily opponent.
Nice to meet you today :)
