#TrustGodsPromises
“when doubt whispers, answer with God's promises. When temptation twists the truth. Listen to me. Listen to me. This is another whole sermon, and we got to go. We're late, by the way. We've got to go. You better know the difference between god working in your life through allowing trials to come versus temptation. does not tempt. Satan tempts. God allows tests to come to mature us. Know the difference. James chapter one. Go read it if you need to. When accusations come, remember that your identity is not determined by your failures but by your savior. So may the lord fill you with his truth. May he renew your mind today. May he give you peace in your soul. And may your life be lived with an unwavering confidence in who my god is and who your savior is.”

#TruthTransformsFreedom
“Here's what I want you to understand. Freedom is not found by trying harder but by believing better in the truth. Transformation begins when god's truth replaces Satan's lies. I asked god before I come in the pulpit. I said, lord, let me preach with a smile today. Let let me be encouraging. But I'm trying my best to expose what's destroying you today. Amen. Jesus teaches that freedom comes through abiding in him. Abiding in his word. Notice he's does not say truth merely informs us. He says, real truth transforms Why is it preacher? I come to church on Sunday but I still act like hell on Monday through Saturday. It's because you know about the truth but you don't know the truth giver. Because if the truth is in you, will set you free. He will set you free. Foundational peace transformation begins when god's truth. Listen to me, replaces Satan's lies.”

#QuestioningGodsWord
“So, let me lay out three things this morning and I'm gonna go through em real quick. Every temptation, number one, begins by questioning god's word. Genesis three and one, did god really say? Here's here's what I wanna get across to you this morning that Satan attacks confidence in god's word before he attacks conduct in one's character. Look at your neighbor and say, that's good right there. Long before our conduct goes off the rails, we begin to question god's word over and for our life. Notice this truth with me. The first recorded words of Satan in scripture are not an outright denial of god but a subtle question designed to just create enough doubt to make you go take a chance the other way. Just enough to get you off target just a little bit.”
78s
#CounterfeitTruths
“If Satan can change what you believe, he can influence how you live. Because out of stinking thinking becomes stinking living. Imagine walking into a bank where every counterfeit bill looked absolutely genuine. The colors are right. The texture feels authentic. The watermarks seem convincing. The only problem, it's fake. You know, you know, Satan doesn't go out and make $15 bills because everybody would recognize it. A counterfeiter doesn't and and in fact, so often counterfeiters make large bills because you don't see em real often. You won't recognize what's wrong with them. But all of us have, well, we used to handle ones and fives. know what they look like. Satan works to counterfeit everyday things. Counterfeit money works only because it looks close enough to the real thing that it deceives someone And Satan works the same way. He rarely tempts us with something obviously evil.”

#DeceiverNotCreator
“How does a defeated enemy continue to win battles? The answer is found in one simple word, lies. We can trace it to that one place. The devil has never possessed the creative power of god. He cannot create truth. He's the father of all lies and the truth is not in him. He cannot, he can only distort truth. He cannot create life for he came to steal, kill, and destroy. If you notice John ten and ten, that's his that's his mission. Is to kill. So, he can't create life. He can only corrupt it.”

#GuardrailsNotFences
“``behind every complaint against god is often a distorted view of his character. A common objective to Christianity is that god's commands restricts our human freedom, but scripture represents the opposite. Listen to me. Listen to me. A fish lives in water not on land. Amen. A train is free on the tracks but not in a field. Freedom is not the same thing as the absence of boundaries. Freedom is living according to the design of the creator. I don't care what y'all say. I'm preaching good today. God's commands are not fences to imprison us. Listen to me. They're not. They're guardrails to keep us alive.”
57s
#LiesBeforeDestruction
“He works undercover. Instead, he offers a counterfeit, a counterfeit peace, a counterfeit fulfillment, a counterfeit identity, a counterfeit freedom, a counterfeit truth. Jesus never described Satan primarily as a murderer. No. He first described him as a liar. Why? Because lies always precede destruction. Before destruction comes, lies began to flow. Before Cain murdered Abel, he believed a lie. Before David committed adultery, he believed a lie. Before Judas betrayed Jesus, he believed a lie. Sin begins long before the action takes place. It begins when we believe something that is not true.”

#NewCreationToday
“I'm too broken. I can never be fixed. If you're speaking that over yourself right now, I got two words for you. Shut up. Shut up. Don't you speak that over yourself again. I'm so broken up. If he can create you and know you before he formed you in your mother's womb, he can do you a new creation in Christ Jesus, second Corinthians five seventeen, and old things are gone and all things become new. Today can be a brand new day in your life.”
58s
#StandYourGround
“The greatest deception, listen to me, that Satan can accomplish is not convincing you that he's powerful. It's convincing you that he doesn't exist or convincing you to fight everyone except have one enemy, one enemy, one enemy, one enemy, he is already defeated. And all you gotta do is stand the ground that God gave you. Stand the ground in your home. Don't let sin into your home. Don't let compromise into your home. Don't let sin into your life. If a snake was trying to get in your house, you turn that thing upside down.”
61s
#ArmorOfChrist
“From the very beginning, you are dependent on him for everything. Notice that the armor protects the believer's core, truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the word of god. Each piece address addresses the inner life. Watch this before you ever get into the outer battle. In other words, god starts with the foundation of who you are and he works on the core before he get listen, the armor is less about mystical equipment. We think it's all mystical and everything and we paint all these pictures. It's less about the mystical equipment and more about daily abiding in Christ Jesus. To put on the armor is to put on the character and work of Jesus Christ himself. So when you suit up, you're putting Christ on.”
