When Lies Sound Like Truth

In this message from our Stranger Beings series, we expose the primary weapon Satan uses against believers: lies. Though he is defeated, deception can still keep Christians spiritually captive if left unchallenged. We unpack four common lies the enemy uses to hinder our faith: 1️⃣ “I don’t have to obey God if I don’t agree.” 📖 Isaiah 55:8–9 — God’s ways are higher than ours. 2️⃣ “I deserve this sin.” 📖 2 Samuel 11 — Small compromises lead to greater destruction. 📖 Ephesians 4:27 3️⃣ “God doesn’t want what’s best for me.” 📖 Genesis 3:1–5 📖 Romans 8:32 — God already proved His love by giving His Son. 4️⃣ “I’ve done too much to be forgiven.” 📖 Isaiah 1:18 — No sin is beyond God’s grace. Jesus has already won our freedom. The enemy’s power only lasts as long as we believe the lie. Galatians 5:1 — “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.”
