Devil whispers

[Sharky]

Ever had that annoying feeling. There's one day that you friend misses to see you since he never ever fails to come. But that one day you probably start feeling low because your friend doesn't want to see you anymore.

That's the devil whispering. Telling you the negatives about everything. If there's a scratch on you, he will tell you that it's infected, huge and leaking blood uncontrollably. He will tell you all sorts of stuff which could put you down or put you off for good. Any negatives that come in, just tell that 2 faced, stinkin liar, annoying fly with one wing to get lost and get stuffed. Why tell him off? Because God has given authority to us to do so . MAKE USE OF IT!

Because it helps to keep optimistic and positive about things even if they are small problems.

the devil can be a pain - honestly was getting cheeky a few months back invading my dreams and trying to confuse me. But took care of that!

 

[booger]

AMEN to that sharky.

Now....where is my fly swatter....

 

[GodOwnsMe]

wow !! I'm so confused about this stuff...there's a lot of these kinda thoughts getting me down at the moment & the worst is--I can't really get rid of the feeling it was God
(I mean esp. stuff like God's mad at me & just 'anything' making me feel guilty....I dunno if it's really like that but I get the impression )
!!! :/ mhhh

 

[GraftMeIn]

Amen Sharky!

It's just like satan to try and make mountains out of mole hills for us. but we do have hope

Matthew 21:21
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

Been there, done that. Could write a book about it. The remedy I found is none other than taking on board The Word. Not Christian books; not running to this minister and that speaker; not trying to feel saved; not getting every man n' his dog to pray for me. Done all that - result - more mess n' confusion. The Written, unadulterated Word of God in full context. After all, Christ, the Living Embodiment of the Word, put the enemy back in his place with ..."it is written...."

If I have learned anything its God will never make you feel guilty. I do that all by myself. Any feeling like that comes from one place and thats not from God. He's cheering us on. ALWAYS telling us how good we are and to remember HE LOVES US SO MUCH!.

AMEN

I have sooo been there done that. satan is forever trying to worry me and blow things out of shape. I like to have something playing when I go to sleep and I have found that listening to the Bible well I go to sleep helps me to sleep so much better. It is amazing. Sometimes I still forget and run to the front of the church to get "everybody and their dog" to pray for me but God is working with me to be strong.

He certainly is and He's faithful so keep trusting Him and He'll see you through. I'm still learning in this area too. I occasionally get selective amnesia and think I can do it better    but God waits until I let Him take the wheel.

mhhhhhh..... it was pretty bad this morning I freaked........... it's hard to explain.........
I felt so pushed around....
like in the morning like the first thing I felt was a big pressure & guilty feeling I should be getting up instantly...........
like a voice telling me what to do,
like I wanted to uh put some pics on a book,
I love doing stuff like that but suddenly feel all guilty 'bout this & feel I should be doing something else.
It's even like that with homework etc sometimes.
I don't remember how it really went but it's often like
um there's a phrase I still often tell to myself like 'even if God's love'd be enough (everything would just be okay...thats another story)' when I don't do this I still wanna cause I love God/someone.
But it's often just a phrase....still helping a bit, but I feel so under pressure/ guilty sometimes (or don't really try to imagine) I'm just doing the thing cause I'm scared or feel guilty & eh that's not such a good thing for me I think !!

then there's like another 'voice' 'saying'
(it feels a bit like that cause...it's hard to explain...nothing really mystourious
I think I just can't express myself sometimes ..... it's a lil bit like someoneelse saying it, a voice from a movie etc..)
like life's becoming a nightmare & I
just got into the (very) negative thinking for a while being like WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME ????????
(though I know it's whether not God or if it's God He'll always to the best/perfect stuff...)

thanks for listening, I'm not sure what to do cause these thoughgts are coming like 'all the time' like I shouldn't even be posting this, etc !!
God Bless you guys

"Was that you, Lord?"

When the lord speaks the following is evident, an inward knowing. Sometimes He speaks not familiar to you or not common to your vocabulary Icor 2:13. Peace comes into your soul and you are at rest John 14:27, trusting with all your heart results Proverbs 3:5-6. Agreement with the word of God, God will not violate His word for anyone's convenience; so the message must be checked with the Bible IIPeter 1:19. Now satan may use the word "god" for he is the "god of this world" IIcor 13:1, but he will not call Jesus Christ "Lord" I cor 12:3. Clarity, Jesus always speaks clearly and in line with His Word so that you KNOW is is HE IIcor 1:20.

Now whe the devil speaks there is doubt, fear, discomfort IItim 1:7; Rom 8:15-16. Also conflict, restlessness, no peace Jas 3:14-18; Isa 48:22. If wondering, lack of clarity, confusion. Satan is the "author of confusion" not God. Jas 3:16; I Cor 14:33. When God speaks, satan soon says the exact opposite, trying to snatch away the Word, Matthew 13:4,18,24-30 Genesis 3:4.

Condemnation, Guilt, Discouragement. Satan brings up sins that have already be confessed, forgiven, and FORGOTTEN by God. Romans 8:1 I John 3:20.

Amen! so true

How do you know it's the devil putting these thoughts into your head and not just yourself? It's easy to blame the devil for making us think about bad things, when it's really ourselves.

 

[Beckijhn]

He attacks me the hardest after prayer walking. We spend an hour or so praying and praising and it never fails, as soon as I get home and take off my Nikes, I start feeling so drained, bummed, depressed.

<whew> it only took a week or so to figure out what was going on - DUH!

Praise God, Satan can't stand in the face of our calling on the name of Jesus Christ!!!

Goodness if I haven't been through what GoDown and you have posted. ESPECIALLY getting every man and his dog to pray for me. I just did that this evening. But I'm trusting in the Lord now to bring me out of my confusion. I remember what GoDown said about it even seeping into your work. For while, I was thoroughly convinced that my&nbsp;being a&nbsp;music major and my&nbsp;intentions for being&nbsp;one&nbsp;were pure evil and that I had to forsake it or I'd forever be punished. I'm finally starting to get out of that as well. Confusion has taken its toll on my so much recently, but thankfully the Lord is using what I'm going through to teach me and make me strong.

 

[auswiq]

Yes, He certainly is, QS. Im much stronger and more mature from what I went through for years.
