Lost and Found

Well it's Wednesday, which means it's my (Abby) turn to post. mmk.

My brother Jeremy once told me that I was very good at making sound, snap decisions; that I could change my course in a matter of seconds to match God's course. I looked back on this today, and realized that in the past few months satan had convinced me that I had lost this ability; that I couldn't force myself to make the right decision on the spot. I just realized what a lie that is; I aquired that ability and I still have that ability.

What is satan lying to you about? What has he convinced you that you're incapable of or have lost the ability to do?

And how do you know if it's satan telling you a lie, or just God bringing something to your attention? Well, I've noticed that when it's the devil talking to me, he makes it sound like it's my voice saying this (example "Gee, I guess I'm just not good at this..."), whereas when God talks to me He says "You" and not "I".

I know it's satan lying to me when I feel limited, trapped, or like there's absolutely no way out. I know this isn't God because the Bible says:

2Cor. 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Also, when God's trying to make a change in you, He won't make you feel overwhelmed, or like there's no solution to this problem. He won't make you feel condemned.

Romans 8:1 (NIV)
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

I hope this helps!!
