Episode Summary:
In this episode, we're talking about how Satan is not even trying to hide anymore. We walk about discernment, choices and holding onto faith.
Key Points Covered:
Satan likes to try and distract us. It’s the bait and switch.
Satan tries to rob us of the awareness of the truth, our identity in Christ and who Christ is.
Sometimes life just happens. Why are we giving Satan power over all of the “bad things” that happen to us? Just because things are bad doesn’t make them evin.
Satan is trying to get in the way of what God is doing.
Your pain is real, and horror and discouragement are real - and so is God, and so is His plan.
When you come to know God, you naturally repel darkness.
If you want to work through the hard things in life, “the real stuff”, you need God with you.
God is powerful and can cast Satan out, but not if we're kicking God out and inviting Satan
Instead of looking to God for validation or feedback or to the Bible or to those that are in relationship with Him, that's where the devil's hiding and that's where the confusion starts.
If you want to know Jesus, study HIS gospel. Like, wake up and study HIS word, HIS gospel. That way when the counterfeit comes, because Satan is a counterfeit. He will take what God has created and counterfeit it, or he'll try to give us options that are counterfeit to the real thing. if you just spend your time focusing on the real thing, you're going to be able to recognize the counterfeit immediately because it doesn't look real.
When you find yourself saying, I need to, you're often looking at your life without Christ in it.
God is asking - are you going to choose me?
Discernment is knowing the difference. Discerning the will of God versus your own. It's knowing the difference in this good feeling versus this yucky feeling. It's that internal compass that helps you know where to go.
You just have to hold on to the faith because that's the whole idea of Living in the world, but not of the world
Mentioned Scriptures:
Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever
James 1
2 Corinthians 2:11
2 Timothy 1:7 Don't be afraid. God hasn't given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and soundness of mind.
John 15:18 If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belong to it, but you're no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world so it hates you. Do you remember what I told you? A slave is not greater than the master.
