Are you aware that this morning Satan wants to poison your thoughts and emotions away from the purity of God’s truth? His attacks center on two areas: your mind and your emotions. Jesus calls Satan the Father of Lies in Jn. 8:44. Jesus warns us that we face the onslaught of the Devil in the realm of lies vs. truth daily. That means to stand for the Lord today we must:
BE ON GUARD FOR THE FATHER OF LIES
The Father of Lies wants to snatch the Word of God from you.
The Father of Lies wants you to think that sin is not so bad.
The Father of Lies wants you to learn to laugh at sin on television or at the movies.
The Father of Lies wants to destroy your conscience so it will no longer warn you.
The Father of Lies wants to entertain you with sin so that you won’t think it’s as evil as sin really is.
The Father of Lies wants to drown you in a sea of sin so that you become very tolerant of it.
He wants to fill your mind with doubts, lies, immorality, and false doctrine.
He wants to debilitate your will and get you to do things you shouldn’t do
He wants to twist your thinking by putting sinful ideas to appealing music.
He wants to confuse your emotions by corrupting your desires and drawing your affections to the wrong things.
DRESSED FOR DANGER
To counter Satan’s attack the Lord has told us we need to get dressed for war. In His Word He has told us just what will ensure momentary and continued victory. In his letters to the First Century churches, Paul uses many pictures from the daily life to communicate the truth about the Christian life.
