As we go through “Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table”, by Louie Giglio, we have some great insight to what we all face from time-to-time. The accusations of the enemy; the demeaning and condescending words we all hear from time to time. Here are some great Biblical responses we need to equip ourselves with.
Lie from Enemy | Truth of God’s Word |
You are weak and powerless | God’s strength is more than sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9) |
You are unlovable to God and Others | God loves you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3) |
You can’t be used by God because of your past | God has blotted out the sins of your past (Romans 8:1-2) |
You are worthless and irrelevant | You are God’s treasure (Deuteronomy 7:6) |
You are rejected and abandoned | God has adopted you into His own family (Ephesians 1:5 |
You are deficient and incomplete | God has made you whole and completed (Colossians 2:10) |
You are alone and no one cares about you | God cares about you and is with you (1 Peter 5:7) |
You can’t have peace in your life | God will give you His perfect peace (John 14:27) |
You have no purpose in life | God has great plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11) |
You are ordinary and average | You are extraordinary and unique (Psalm 139:14) |
Out of all these lies, which one seems to slip in and wound you time and time again? Don’t entertain the lie. Use these truths to help you. If you have reoccurring challenges, consider memorizing the truth to have ready and remind yourself that it is the truth and you don’t need to entertain, argue and debate with the enemy.
