I am preparing for my Sunday message in 1 Thessalonians. I will be preaching on the devil. Fun stuff.

One of the tactics the enemy uses is deception. We will often believe the lies of the enemy over the truth of God. It’s often because we spend more time listening to the deception instead of the truth. We are more likely to believe the report of the enemy over the Lord’s report.

Whose report do YOU believe?

In Zechariah, the enemy stood beside Joshua the high priest just pounding him with accusations. The symbolism is found in the nasty garments Joshua was wearing. The enemy kept on pounding away.

The Lord stood there as well. The Lord stood up to the lies and said, “The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this man a brand plucked from the fire?”

Whose report do YOU believe?

The enemy pounds away, but we need to hear the word from the Lord. HIS report is the truth. It is the TRUTH that sets us free.
