TRUTH OVER LIES: Week3

Posted on by
“LIES ABOUT YOU” (PART 1), DAY 5.

THE LIE: You’re Too Old/Young to be Used by God.

READ: Job 12:12; Psalm 92:12-14; 1 Timothy 4:12 and SOAP: Psalm 92:12-14; 1 Timothy 4:12

THE TRUTH: The godly grow like a palm tree; they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the Lord’s house, they grow in the courts of our God. They bear fruit even when they are old; they are filled with vitality and have many leaves.

Psalm 92:12-14

THE TRUTH: Let no one look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in your speech, conduct, love, faithfulness, and purity. 1 Timothy 4:12What do you think?

  • Does your age make you feel inferior?
  • How can God use the young and the old?

Have you ever put an age limit on God’s plans for your life? We often feel that our age restricts us from accomplishing our goals or dreams. Like the height restriction at a rollercoaster, we stand stretching to see if God will let us on the ride.

The devil will tell us over and over again that we are too old or too young to serve Him. He will make you doubt your ability, your capacity, and your skills.

Truth Over Lies: Week 3

Posted on by
“LIES ABOUT YOU” (PART 1) DAY 2

THE LIE: “You Can’t Change”

Read: Hebrews 13:20-21; Philippians 4:13 and SOAP: Hebrews 13:20-21

THE TRUTH: Now may the God of peace who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21

Sometimes we experience something that grasps hold of us and we can’t seem to shake. We begin to believe the lie that we cannot change. We will always be a victim. We will always struggle with the addiction. Yet, God’s Word powerfully refutes these lies.

TRUTH OR LIE? GOD IS STINGY …

Romans 8:31-32; John 1:16; James 1:5; Ephesians 1:3-8

SOAP: Romans 8:31-32

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?

Romans 8:31-32 NLT

We think that because our desires have not been satisfied God is selfishly withholding His blessings to tease and to test.
