“…he was a murderer from the beginning. he has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
John 8:44b
Who has God made you to be? Is your identity as a failure, or loner? Do you believe that you will never achieve anything or that you are too much of a sinner to be used by God? If so, you are believing lies. This is not what God intended for your life. You are child of Almighty God. He has a plan and purpose for your life. You are His best creation. When He made you, He saw you and said ‘it was very good!’ In fact, so great is His love for you, that He sent His only Son to close the gap between God and man with His life, so that He can have a relationship with you again.
In order to reject the lies, first we must know the truth. It is the truth that sets us free from the lies that the enemy continually tries to deceive us with: The truth about who God is, the truth about who we are and the truth about what God’s plan for our life is. Inside the enemy there is not truth at all. That gives a clear indication that everything he is whispering in our ears is contrary to what God is saying and has said and is a complete lie, which therefore giving us the right to reject it, put a stake in the ground, and say, from this moment on, I choose to believe the truth and reject the lies.
Know who you are in Jesus. Know the truth about who God says you are. Reject the enemy’s lies and live life in the fullness of all God has for you!
