| The Devil can really tell you a lot of truth about
yourself that's horrible, not to speak of the lies he
tells you. One of his favourite tactics is to try to
persuade you to quit by hitting you with a barrage of
doubt, discouragement & self pity! If we don't keep
our eyes on the Lord & our mind on His Word, we're
doomed to defeat, doubt, discouragement & final
failure. When you're discouraged, the Devil tries to
make you mad at the truth because he's afraid of being
defeated by it!--And if you listen to the Devil's lies,
you'll even forget the Words of God! If you spend your
time listening to his doubts & murmurs, & singing
his dirges, you'll even forget God's praises.
So rebuke the Enemy in Jesus' name when he tempts you
with negative thoughts. Start praising the Lord, &
you'll often praise your way right out of the pit into
which the Devil is trying to cast you! When he comes
around with his doubts, lies & fears, don't just
stand there; do something--sing, shout, praise the Lord,
quote Scriptures! Sock it to him with the WORD! The Devil
can't take the Word! He'll turn tail & run!
