“We destroy the every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Chrsit.” – 2nd Corinthians 10:5 NLT.
Reading Scripture is vital to our intimacy with God. God’s Word is our weapon. It’s alive, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). And when we hide Scripture in our heart, it helps us battle with the forces of evil. We have an enemy, and the last thing he wants us to do is trust God and His Word.
Our spiritual enemy wants to keep us in a place of doubt and insecurity. But when we know who we are, we can confidently demolish every lie that distracts us. Just like Jesus did, we can use Scripture to remind ourselves of the truth and fight back against the devil’s schemes.
Think through some of the lies you’ve believed. Maybe it’s “I’m a failure, I’ll never do anything right,” or “God doesn’t care about me, it’s why these bad things happen.” It’s easier to entertain lies when we allow them to become a part of us.
But once you recognize the lies you’ve internalized, you’re halfway to victory. God gave us His Word so that we could know the truth, and it’s His truth that sets us free.
