The Louder the Lies, the Bigger the Prize

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. John 8:44 (NKJV)

The devil NEVER tells the truth- or anything close to it. Every single thing he utters is false. You can depend on him to tell you exactly the opposite of what you should believe. And lying thoughts are precisely how he comes against us. When you get thoughts that are negative, or bring fear, they are from the enemy. And the bigger the lies and the louder he tries to shout them in your mind, the bigger and better the prize that is actually on the way.

When we are attacked heavily by the enemy, it is a clear indication that a huge breakthrough is on the way. It is true that the devil is not all-knowing like God is, and he cannot be everywhere at once like God is. However, he does have demonic spirits stationed in the second heaven, and as the angels of God travel through from the third heaven bringing the answer to your prayer and your breakthrough, those demon forces see what is coming. As a result, the enemy steps up the level of attack against your mind. His goal: to get you to speak contrary to faith and abort the angels’ misson in bringing you what you desire and need. So, an increase in the devil’s attacks means something huge is coming your way from God.

If he has been telling you that you are through, or that you’re going to die, or that no one loves you- see these lies for what they are. And increase your confession of faith in retaliation. Let him know you mean business, and send him running by speaking the Word more and by saying it with conviction. The warfare may be intense, but breakthrough is on the way- and it’s going to be awesome! The louder the lies, the bigger the prize!
