Other Voices of the Liar

From The Voices and The Choices by Roxanne Parks on YouVersion

Our enemy is a liar and lives to deceive! There are real voices that cry out when we are making real choices. Be on guard! We must know the Truth! Not today, Satan! He only comes to steal, kill and destroy our joy, our family, our purpose.

2 Corinthians 10:5 – We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

As a believer, our identity in Christ is full of life. The lies of our flesh often bring a feeling of death. Life in Christ can offer peace, patience, joy, rest, fulfillment, love, purpose and satisfaction. A life lived in the flesh often yields irritability, anger, bitterness, criticism, depression, judgement, anxiety, and other ugly emotions.

2 Corinthians 2:15-16 – For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

A study of our identity in Christ as a believer is a study in His truth over the enemy’s lies. We must walk in the Voice of Truth. It can be found in the Word. We must know the scriptures, memorize the truths and hide them in our hearts. This equips us to live in this daily battlefield of the voices and the choices. Take a personal challenge to know your identity in Christ as a believer and to hide those truths in your heart through scripture memory.

Galatians 5:22-23 – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Remember, you are never alone. Our Lord cannot fail or forsake you. He is always with you fighting on your behalf. You are more than able to live the life that He has called you to. He created you ON purpose, WITH purpose and FOR purpose. When you are weak, He can be your strength. You have the mind of Christ. You were created fearfully and wonderfully as a masterpiece through which He could accomplish His good works and purposes.  Step in! Identify the voices and make life-giving choices.

Ponder:

How deep is my grasp on my true identify in Christ as revealed in His Word? What am I going to do to ensure I walk in my true identity as a believer?

Prayer:

Lord, let me hear Your voice above the voice of the deceiver. Holy Spirit, quicken my heart to the TRUTH.
