83. Silencing the Lies: Three Questions to Dismantle the Enemy's Deception In Your Mind

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that resonates with many of us: silencing the lies that the enemy tells us. We often find ourselves battling negative thoughts and accusations that can derail our faith and confidence. I share three powerful questions designed to help dismantle these lies and reclaim our truth.
I begin by acknowledging the cruel and sadistic nature of the enemy, who delights in kicking us when we’re down. It’s important to recognize that while the enemy is relentless, we also have the power to combat these lies. I reflect on my own journey with spiritual warfare, sharing how I initially became obsessed with control and protection, only to realize that true protection comes from trusting God as our Father.
Throughout the episode, I emphasize that spiritual warfare is not about control but about understanding our legal authority in Christ. I discuss how God sometimes allows challenges in our lives to teach us resilience and to prepare us for spiritual battles. Drawing from scripture, I highlight Isaiah 54:17, which reassures us that no weapon formed against us will prevail and that we have the power to refute every accusation.
