Kristi Muszik When satan slithers up beside you, putting his lying lips against your ear, whispering words to you in his evil, dark voice.
Telling you that you are worthless, you have no purpose, you will never live your dreams, no one likes you, you can never do anything right, you are a mistake, you are a failure, and you are going to die of a specific illness, and so on and on with his lying words.
You have two options on how to handle his lying whispers.
You can believe them – especially if you are seeing the symptoms of what he is saying, allowing fear of his words lining up with what you are seeing, feeling, or hearing about penetrating deep into your heart, causing you to believe those whispering words to be in the full manifestation of your life.
OR
You can thank him -even though you are seeing, feeling, or hearing the symptoms of what he is saying, you can say, “Thank you, Mr. Devil, for you have only confirmed what the Word of God says because you are the Father of Lies.” “I choose to stand on God’s Word no matter what you say and what symptoms to be coming against me.”
Satan can only say the opposite of what God’s Word says. He can only say the opposite of what God’s thoughts are of you. So, we need to believe the opposite of what he says.
I am learning that even when fear is rising inside of me, wanting to penetrate deep into my heart to cause me to believe Satan’s lies, I turn to him and thank him for confirming God’s Word. Then I turn to God with raised hands, thanking Him for The promises of His word -for the truth of His Word to be manifested in my life.
I must believe God’s words for that particular situation or circumstance, even though my feelings may go haywire.
for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]—(2 Corinthians 5:7 AMP)
I have to tell my emotions to shut up and be in self-control. I wasn’t always this way, as I have often allowed my feelings to dictate my decisions and beliefs.
I am learning how to keep my emotions in control and not allow the whispering of satan’s words to penetrate my heart.
I am learning to do so by renewing my mind on God’s word.I have to immerse myself in God’s word daily to transform my way of thinking and to penetrate His truth into my heart.
Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart…… (Psalm 119:11a AMP)
I have to find scriptures that speak of God’s promises of truth regarding what I am going through.
Find scriptures that expose the lies being whispered into my ear and choose to believe the scripture over believing the circumstances of the moment.
I have to repeatedly speak the promises I find in the scriptures until they penetrate deep into my heart and override whatever I see, feel, or believe that doesn’t align with God’s word, a process of trial and error of someday standing against satan’s whispers of lies and other times of finding myself falling into his lies.
I have to choose to pick myself up from the fall and keep moving forward.
The more you choose not to listen to the whispers of satan’s lies but thank him for confirming God’s Word to be accurate and lifting your hands to God in praise, the easier it will become.
I have to choose daily not to believe satan’s whispering lies that are being said in my ears but to thank him for confirming the truth of God’s Word and give God all the praise for his promises of truth.
How will you handle the whispers of satan’s lies in your ears?
