Lies from the Dark Side

By Anita Kelly Couch

 

 

Satan's Lies
God's Truth
I am worthless. God values me (Col. 3:12)
I can't be what God expects me to be. God will complete the work He started in me. (Phil.1:6)
I have to control my life because God wouldn't control it the way I wanted Him to. God has a good plan for my future. (Jer. 29:11-13)
I'm not beautiful . I am beautiful in Christ.. (Isa. 61:1-6)
I have to be thin in order to be considered attractive or loveable. Beauty comes from within (1 Peter 3:4)
I have to be perfect. God's grace is the only thing perfect within me. (Eph.2:8-9)
Being engaged in sexual activity proves I am attractive and loveable . Sexual activity outside of marriage only makes me feel worse about myself because it is sin. (Rom. 6:19-23)
I'm a bad person and nothing can change that. Christ has appointed me to do his good work. (Eph.2:10)
Because of the family I come from, I will always have these problems. I am part of God's family. (Eph. 1:4-5)
I'm the only one who struggles with these problems. Everyone struggles. (Rom. 7:21-24)
I need to exercise everyday in order to be acceptable. Godliness training is needed daily. (I Tim.4:8)
It's a sign of independence to rebel against authority. God requires submission to authority. (Ro.13: 1-2)
I must be accepted by certain others in order to feel good about myself. I have been fully accepted by God through Christ.(Ro.5: 10, 11)
Those who fail are unworthy of love and deserve to be punished. Christ took the punishment for my sin for me; Christ satisfied God's wrath by His death on the Cross! (Ro.3; 25)
