John 8:44 (NKJV) 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it<\/span>.<\/p>\n

As Jesus rebuked the religious leadership of His day, He made a comment that we all need to pay attention to.<\/p>\n

He spoke of satan, stating, \u201cfor he is a liar and the father of it\u201d.<\/p>\n

We need to always remember that he is \u201cthe father of lies\u201d.<\/p>\n

There is no truth in him. And there is no light in him. He wills only to do what is evil. Never is there any good or truth in anything he does.<\/p>\n

His goal is to destroy every one of us; you and me.<\/p>\n

We need to remember this as we face trials in our lives. Especially those trials where the enemy attacks our minds.<\/p>\n

Satan uses our minds as a playground where he works to defeat us in our thoughts, causing us to doubt God and His faithfulness.<\/p>\n

The very first example of this was in Genesis 3:1, when he caused Eve to doubt what God had told her; \u201cHas God indeed said, \u2018You shall not eat of every tree of the garden\u2019?\u201d.<\/p>\n

That one lie led to Eve doubting God\u2019s truth. And that doubt was enough to get her to give in to temptation, opening the door to sin and death for all of humanity.<\/p>\n

Many times, the enemy will do similar things to you and me. This can cause us to make poor choices by causing us to feel defeated. And if we feel defeated, we\u2019ve already given up on God and lost hope.<\/p>\n

Let us not fall to this tactic. We need to stay strong in our faith, trusting God even when what we see in front of us may seem insurmountable.<\/p>\n

Formidable foes require strength, perseverance and great trust in our Redeemer to lead us through the battles and on to victory.<\/p>\n

This is not hype or emotional motivation. This is truth that we all need to grasp and hold tightly to, so we recognize it when it hits us and know how to handle it.<\/p>\n

The things we face won\u2019t always be easy to defeat, or to overcome. But if we hold fast to God, He will lead our every step.<\/p>\n
