Thank you very much for this episode today, may we please be open to the works of evil forces that may be out there. May we please be awake to what we should be aware of and I'll let our lives be changed and transformed forever and ever amen.\n\nI would like to start off with something kind of funny. One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, before the church service starts, the congregation sit in their pews and talk about their lives and their families. Suddenly, at the altar, Satan appears! Everyone starts screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in their determined efforts to get away from the devil. Soon, everyone is evacuated from the church except for one man, who sits calmly in his pew. This confused Satan a bit. Satan walks up to the man and says, \"Hey, don't you know who I am?\" The man says, \"Yep, sure do.\" Satan says, \"Well, aren't you afraid of me?\" The man says, \"Nope, sure ain't.\" Satan, perturbed, says, \"And why aren't you afraid of me?\" The man says, \"Well, I've been married to your sister for 25 years.\"\n\nI want to talk to you about the seven lies the devil wants you to believe. The devil is called according to John 8:44, \u201ca liar and the father of lies.\u201d Satan tricks us by telling lies. He controls us by telling lies. He convinces us to do things that we wouldn\u2019t do otherwise through lies. Please look at your neighbour and say \u201cneighbour, God serves notice on you today. The devil is a liar!\u201d\n\nHere are the 7 lies the devil wants you to believe.\n\nThe Word of God is not true: Genesis 3:1 says \u201cNow the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye, shall not eat of any tree of the garden?\u201d The very first deception the devil used was getting Eve to doubt the word of God. And it is still His major move today. When God has spoken a word of healing, prosperity, relational abundance and truth, the devil will try to get you to doubt what God said with sickness, poverty, loneliness and deceit. However, we have established that the devil is a liar, so when God has spoken a word then you better believe it. His word is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, as he said \u201cThy word is truth.\u201d\nGod does not exist: we live in a world of multiple beliefs and Atheism. One deception Atheists believe is that there is no God. However, we know there is a God due to the heavens that declare His work, the innate belief humans have that God exists, the existence of the intricate balances in the world. If there is a plan, there is a planner; If there is a design there is a designer; If there is a book there is an author. Who might that be? \u201cOur father who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name.\u201d If you believe there is no God then God cannot help you as Hebrews 11:6 says \u201cAnd without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.\u201d\nThis world is all there is \u2013 there is no Heaven, Hell or Judgement so you do not have to be responsible for your actions: Hebrews 9:27 says, \u201cAnd as it is appointed unto men once to...","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/2452adb8-0c9f-4abf-b5e2-ab465290c2c6/ELSsEBJrF8eBgGEecWhcVHNH.jpg"}
