DON’T BELIEVE IT

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.  He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.  When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

John 8:44 KJV  

No matter what satan tells you, don’t believe it because he is a liar and the father of it.  Jesus has warned us to be on the alert for the sneaky attacks and vicious lies of satan (1 Peter 5:8).  Thursday afternoon I was very discouraged to the point of giving up until I realized it was just another attack of satan.

We need to remember that it makes satan very angry when we are serving Jesus and he will do all he can do to discourage us so much that we will stop serving Jesus.  We must not let that happen.  We must stay on the battlefield for Jesus.  Our precious Saviour stayed on the cross for us.

If ever someone had a right to give up and quit, it was Jesus.  He had been ridiculed, tortured, spat on, cursed and rejected yet our loving Saviour kept loving and spreading His love.  After all that Jesus has done for us, the least we can do for Him is get out of our comfort zones and tell people Jesus loves them.

Are we willing to stay on the battlefield for Jesus no matter how many lies and attacks satan hurls at us?  If we really love Jesus and appreciate all He has done for us, we will ask Him to help us when satan attacks us and stay on the battlefield for Jesus.  O how I love Jesus!  One joyous day we will see Him face to face.
