rejecting the lies of the enemy...sometimes its easier said than done im afraid...but nothing worth anything comes easy, at least in my experience anyway. i actually made a list of all the lies planted in my mind by satan and took it out on the back porch and burned it. i wont get into the list because guess what? its similar to everyone else's list because satan uses the same deceptions to corrupt everyone...a comforting thought really because i thought for the longest time that somehow i was different, that i was beyond gods love...the greatest lie satan told me. thankfully, i have people both here and at church now that tell me different, that god loves me no matter what i have done in my moments of weakness. now that doesnt mean that i can run around sinning my butt off and go home at night and ask god to forgive me, because if im sinning my butt off, i really dont care if gods gonna forgive me because im caught in satans web of deceit. its a vicious cycle, sin begets sin. simple as that. i see this step as a way to remove myself from my own sinful ways by eventually being able to prevent MOST of them from occuring by asking myself if what i think or what i want to do is truthful. just say to myself, adam is that really true? ITS SO SIMPLE THAT ITS CRAZY! not easy but simple...will take alot of self awareness and patience to get good at this, but guess what? GODS GONNA GIVE ME BOTH OF THOSE THINGS IF I SEEK HIM! the lights getting brighter and im not afraid to say it...

PRAISE GOD FOR HE IS MY STRENGTH AND HOPE!!!

Amen!!!

....and I'll bet as time goes on He will reveal more lies from the enemy. The battle is in the mind. The enemy uses all kinds of tools to make us believe different things about who God is and how He loves us...if he can make us believe God's love is conditional...what good is God's grace?

Keep walking these steps..He has so much to show you..and loves every minute of this with you.

Praying for you.

In Jesus,

I remember the lie of me being the only one God can't forgive. And it is a comfort to find out thats not true and there are folks around just like you who understand.

Its not easy...i don't think it gets easier...in fact as we get stronger the enemy steps up his attacks. Just remember to keep planting truth from God's word in the place of the lies your getting rid of.

Glad your on the path
