Lies are not harmless; by them, by getting people to believe them as if they are truth, the enemy carries out his work of stealing, killing, and destroying. I learned this table from my pastor 18 years ago when I was struggling with depression. He taught me how to use Scripture -- the weapon of our warfare -- to tear down strongholds built out of lies, and establish a stronghold built out of truth in its place. What I learned then (and can testify to its effectiveness) I am posting now. Tomorrow I will post the other side of the table, the truth side.

I love this type of analysis because it makes clear the root of what we think of as acceptable thoughts / emotions. That "just a little bit of worry" is really doubting God.

I love it!

I am researching the holy days which were instituted by God as a celebration of the Messiah, instead of celebrating the holy days which were instituted by man to honor nature in place of nature's God.
