Guests Will Briggs and Matt Williams join us this week on the podcast as we look at how we can recognize the plays of the enemy, the temptations and tendencies in our own hearts, and move forward on God’s path, breaking free of the chains of habitual sin.   DISCUSSION GUIDE What are...

There are no harmless lies. They all have consequences. When we exchange the truth of God for a lie, there is a price to pay. Join us in the conversation as Scott and guest Greg Chandler drill down on five specific lies that the enemy wants us to believe and how we can counter each lie with truth from God’s word about who we are and what we are called to.

 

DISCUSSION GUIDE

Everyone in a group, play the game “Two truths and a lie.” Try and learn something new about each person in the group.

Scott and Greg dove into the idea that all lies begin with Satan; that Satan is seeking to steal, kill, and destroy. One of the most significant ways Satan attacks us is through lies. Satan twists God’s word. He lies. Do you believe that Satan has the power to deceive us? Have there been any times that you realized that Satan was trying to deceive you through a lie?

What comes to mind when asked this question: “What do you think you deserve?” Is this a thought that is true from God or a lie from the enemy?

Which of the 5 popular lies that Scott and Greg talked about do you find yourself believing most often?

  • It’s all about me.
  • I am damaged goods.
  • God doesn’t love you and won’t forgive you.
  • Things will never be different. Things will never change. I can’t recover from that.
  • I can't spiritually lead my home. 

What lies does the enemy bombard you with on a consistent basis? How do you see these lies affecting your life?

What lies do I need to renounce?

Read 2 Corinthians 10:5. Do you have consistent time set aside in your life to take captive every thought? If not, what can you do to set aside 20 minutes a day to read God’s word and wrestle with these thoughts? Our thoughts could potentially be true thoughts from God or they could be lies from the enemy. By taking every thought captive and comparing it with God’s word, we can know what is truth and what is a lie.

Take a moment and think about this question: Do you want the truth? Do you really want to know the truth about what Jesus says about you? You will never fully know the truth if you do not want it.

What else from the podcast spoke to you?

What did God/Holy Spirit speak/prompt/say to you?  What’s God asking you to do?  What does He want to give you?  What does He want you to lay down?
