John 1:14, 16-17 - 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son (Jesus), who came from the Father, full of grace and truth………… 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

John 10:9-10 - 9 I (Jesus) am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief (Satan) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Ephesians 6:11-14 - 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place…

Here’s What I Want us To Do this Week

1. Ask God and a Christian friend to reveal to you what Lies you have been believing, and list them on a piece of paper. Ask God to show you in His Word the Bible, the Truth about each of those things, (Google What does the Bible say about your Lie & then Look up the Verses) then write a verse or 2 of Truth next to each Lie you’ve been believing. Then ask God to set you Free from each Lie and help you to Believe and Live Out the TRUTH instead!
