Satan's Mouthpiece

Satan’s objective in taking people captive is to get them to do his will. and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. (2 Tim 2:26)

Have you been praying that your spouse comes to their senses and escapes the enemy?  We certainly hope so, because it's the best method!!! There is no sense in battling your spouse, because we aren't in war with them, this is not against flesh and blood. 

“There is nothing that Satan can do for his evil cause that he does not do. We may be halfhearted, but he never is. He is the very image of ceaseless industry and untiring earnestness. He will do all that can be done in the time of his permitted rage. We may be sure that he will never lose a day.” Charles Spurgeon

“Be selfcontrolled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for

someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 Your spouse is NOT the enemy. 

The last few weeks we have received some e-mails from standers who are being attacked by this enemy-the devil.  Why is your spouse speaking lies? The answer is actually simple enough.....we are told in the Bible that we cannot serve two masters.  When your spouse walks away from God they have allowed themselves to be taken captive by the devil.   You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 

When you hear lies don't hang onto them.  Let them go.  Allow God to speak truth into your heart. 

The prodigal said:
     "I never loved you."
The Lord said: 
     "I have loved you with an everlasting love."  Jeremiah 31:3

The prodigal said:
     "You never satisfied me."
The Lord said:
     "You open your hand and satisfy the desireds of every living thing." Psalm 145:16

The prodigal said:
     "I am never coming  back."
The Lord said:
     "He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him."  Psalm 126:6

The prodigal said:
     "I hate you."
The Lord said:
      "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."  John 3:20

The prodigal said: 
     "You act so holy."
The Lord said:
     "For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life." I Thessalonians 4:7

The prodigal said: 
     "I don't know what to do."
The Lord said:
     "Come, follow me."  Mark 1:17


Fill yourself with the truth of God's word.  Do not listen to the lies coming from your spouse's mouth. Do not be side-tracked by your circumstance. God is working.  The Holy Spirit continues to work behind the scenes, so let's not lose focus.
