Hello, friends, and welcome back to the Magnified podcast - Detecting the Lies episode 2 of season 2! Today we are jumping in to the lie "I need _ to be happy or satisfied."
Join Alyssa as she takes you through what it means to be satisfied in Jesus, drink from a well that never runs dry, and how our thirst and hunger for God is a way our hearts point us toward Heaven. In this episode you will also discover why Satan uses distractions to distract us from our ultimate purpose in Christ and gets us to worship other things besides the only true, living, and most high God. Also hear more on how to get back into (or start) a routine of reading God's Word and cultivating a lifestyle of open end conversations with God all day long.
Scriptures: John 4:10-13, John 14:6, Psalm 42:1-5, Acts 2:38, Deuteronomy 8:2-3, Galatians 5:24-25, Ephesians 5:18-19,
Satan's Goal: Satan uses right now distractions to move us away from our true purpose as Christians, which is to love and bring others to Christ.
Questions to Journal: Is Jesus enough for me? What am I filling my time with and what am I looking to to satisfy me? What am I chasing after? What idols have I made in my life? What am I placing above God? Is Jesus good enough for me? Do I say Jesus is good enough for me, but I actually live a different way?
