The Devil is a Liar

Dr Dharius Daniels

Sunday, October 8, 2023

Summary

In this message, Dr. Dharius Daniels launches the series 'God Didn't Say That' by exposing the enemy's ultimate weapon of mass destruction: deception. Because Satan is incapable of speaking truth, believers can take heart knowing God will work the exact opposite of the enemy's lies. By understanding how the enemy uses lies to label us, limit us, and lure us into self-sabotaging behavior, believers are equipped to hit back with the truth of God's Word.

Pastor's Points

1.He uses lies to label us.
2.He uses lies to limit us.
3.He uses lies to lure us into self-sabotaging behavior.

Key Points

1.Invisible spiritual realities directly impact and influence visible natural circumstances.
2.The devil is not merely a liar who refrains from telling the truth; he is fundamentally incapable of telling the truth, meaning God will do the opposite of what Satan claims.
3.The enemy uses lies to label us, causing us to act according to a false self-perception rather than who God says we are.
4.Just because you have to battle for a promise from God does not mean it does not belong to you; fighting for it shows you believe it is yours.
5.When the enemy sends lies in your direction, you lose if you do not know how to hit back with the spoken Word of God.
6.The enemy uses lies to limit us by keeping us unaware of our spiritual gifts or convincing us to underutilize them.
7.Uniquely intense agitation in your heart often reveals your God-given assignment and purpose.
8.Satan uses lies to lure us through unaddressed personal weaknesses into self-sabotaging behavior.
9.The enemy's most dangerous and effective lies are those that misuse and misinterpret God's truth.

Sermon Moments

“There are things that we can't see that affect and influence the things we can see.”

“Saying that the devil is a liar isn't just saying that the devil doesn't tell the truth; it's saying that the devil can't tell the truth.”

“We will always behave in a way that is consistent with how we see ourself.”

“A revelation of whether or not you believe it's yours is your willingness to fight for it.”

“When the enemy sends something in your direction, you lose if you don't know how to hit back.”

“Sometimes your agitation is a revelation of your area of assignment.”

“Some stuff we are calling deliverance is really just the absence of opportunity.”

“His most effective lies are the misuse of truth.”

This Week

Identify any false labels you have adopted about yourself and replace them with specific scriptures defining your identity in Christ.
Actively 'hit back' at demonic thoughts and discouragement throughout the week by speaking biblical truth aloud.
Reflect on what spiritual gifts or abilities you have been underutilizing and take one practical step to exercise them.
Pay attention to holy discontent or spiritual agitation in your heart to discern where God may be calling you to serve.
Examine your life for unaddressed weaknesses or areas of compromise that the enemy could use to lure you into self-sabotage.
Evaluate whether past emotional injuries have caused you to build restrictive, self-protective mindsets that prevent you from walking in God's blessings.
Test teachings, spiritual advice, and popular cultural mindsets against the context of Scripture rather than accepting them blindly.

Remember This

The devil cannot tell the truth, so every lie he whispers is proof that God is getting ready to do the exact opposite in your life.

A Challenge for You

May the Lord bless and keep you, cause His face of favor to shine upon you, be gracious and generous to you, protect you, provide for you, and grant you His peace as you walk in His truth.
