God Thinking LX - As You Get Closer 8

"As you get closer to God.   

Your enemy comes after you with a vengeance to remind you that everything that God says is true, isn’t true.

Every time you have a genuine great thought that draws you closer to God, here comes satan to remind you of how utterly ridiculous it is to think you could ever get closer to God. 

• satan jeers in the background, because he has seen so many Christians say one thing and do another.  
• satan has seen so many Christians start out one way and end up another.  
• satan counts the times when you fail and brings them to your remembrance every chance he gets. 
• satan lies to you about what happens when you get closer to God. 
• he lies about what is ahead for you. 
• he lies about what the results of the encounter will be. 
• he lies about what you’ll lose, what you’ll gain, what effect it will have on others, what your place is in the big picture.
• satan lies to you as you start to draw close to God, because he knows the truth about himself, which he has managed to hide from so many people today."
