We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5

The devastating whispers may come. The enemy may tell you you’re a failure, your case is hopeless, the petition you most hope for will never be answered, and God doesn’t want anything to do with you.
Your enemy knows the messages that will most dishearten you, and he is very effective at striking you where it hurts the most.

But right now remember, he is a liar (John 8:44). Do not give in to him. Those demoralizing whispers are obsoletely not true, so you must immediately reject them and replace them with the truth of God’s word.

And what is true for you as a believer? That Jesus takes responsibility for your success as you walk with Him (Proverbs 16:3). That with your Savior, there is always hope (John 16:33). That not only does God hear your prayers, but He is faithful to answer you (Matthew 7:7-11). And that the Father loves you so much, He will never let go of you (John 10:11, 27-28).

  Lord, please root out the enemy’s lies and replace them with Your Word. Remove his strongholds so I may walk in Your freedom and glorify your name, amen.

In His presence… embrace the
liberating truth of being His child.

EVERY DAY IN HIS PRESENCE, CHARLES F. STANLEY
