Father of lies.

Sometimes on the path God has for us, on the right path, we come to sections that seem impossible to get through. There are thorns and bushes concealing where we need to go, we push and shove doing all we can to get past while getting scratched and bruised, and sometimes we wonder if we are even on the right track or not. Well let me share with you something I have learnt over the years.

When battles start happening in your head and you are doing all you can to fight the devil and the lies he tells you, usually means that you are most likely on the right track- (or sometimes it can definitely mean that you have been sucked onto the wrong path. If so then please read the bible, pray, seek help and keep searching for God.) 

For example, lately, well actually for a while I have been battling and battling with lies that the devil has placed in my head that where slowly creeping into my heart. Thoughts that easily became emotions, emotions of guilt, insecurity and mostly blame. As many of you may know last year a tragedy occured and a dear friend of mine took his own life, and even though it has been a few months it is something I just can’t seem to be able to escape from, and the devil has been telling me many  lies that I have foolishly believed. I won’t share all of them but the biggest one that I believed 100% was that my friends’ death was my fault.

Why did I believe it? I actually don’t know, but what I do know as my mother pointed out to me, thoughts like that are NOT from God! And thoughts like that...man... they stop you from many things in life, they drag you down extremely low, from truly following God and from interacting with people and even making new friends and helping others. And let me tell ya, dark thoughts of doubt and lies are the heaviest chains a person will ever encounter.    

And when these lies and thoughts start pouring in that’s when you need to start talking, seriously talk to someone godly whom you trust. It's one of the only things that will help and set you free from those heavy chains, and God is the one, the only one who is strong enough to break the chains that have no key, these chains are heavy and they hurt! There is no key once they are on that's it, the only thing that can help you now is God and His superior strength who will snap the chains in two dust just by entering the room! 

The devil will put these lies in your head that stop you from following the path God has for you, a great, bright and beautiful path filled with Gods love, and the devil will do all he can to hold you back and turn your way to darkness. 

He will do all he can to stop you from having a godly relationship with people who will strengthen you and make you stronger in Christ because the devil is terrified of that! He knows how strong God is and how God can use his people together to create a force that cannot be touched! The devil knows this and is terrified and will do ALL he can to stop you.

So if you are going through a rough patch with the devils lies filling your head, then speak to someone, ask God for help to break those chains and never stop fighting!

And just because the path may look un-walk-able or you seem to be lost keep going, follow the compass of faith and you will come to the most spectacular and beautiful scene ever!

Mathew 7:13-14

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (NIV)
