Don't Be MISLED By Satan's LIES! | Gary Sermon

We pray this sermon with Gary from the God's Heart TV Studio will strengthen your faith and equip you to identify the devil's lies and not fall into his trap!

00:00Our God of love has set boundaries
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhome who's connected today.
00:31Let Your Word speak
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined8
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjoining us today.
00:52As we come into this message, let us
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined13
8:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe devil, is like a lion roaming around,
01:26seeing who he can devour.
01:30So today, like Apostle Paul, we want
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined18
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedright at the beginning of this service?
01:56If you have a neighbour with you, tell
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined23
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsimply this: 'Don't be misled by satan's lies'.
02:34So, if we have our Bibles,
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrom any tree in the garden;
03:04but you must not eat from the tree
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined32
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedany tree in the garden...'
03:22We don't know how many hundreds
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto the woman, Eve,
03:57“ 'You will not certainly die,' the serpent said to the woman.
04:02‘For God knows that when you eat from it,
04:04your eyes will be opened, and you'll be
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined46
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined"You will not certainly die".
04:33Here satan was tempting us
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined50
undefined:undefined51
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhich is separation from God.
05:06In the second part, he said,
05:09'God knows that when you eat of it,
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined56
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto protect us from damage, from harm.
05:35But satan here is putting another twist on it, suggesting that God has an ulterior motive.
05:42And it is no different today.
05:47And it is no different today.
05:48Our God of love has set boundaries
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlook at a Scripture, Deuteronomy 8:2-3.
06:09We will read,
06:12"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these 40 years
06:19to humble and test you in order to know
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined70
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe mouth of the Lord."
06:47We read here God's perspective
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined76
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat He'd ignored or neglected them.
07:13It was actually to teach them
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined81
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbut every word that comes
07:32from the mouth of the Lord,
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined88
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhow the people grumbled against God.
08:01They misinterpreted God's goodness, God's good plan, and started saying things like,
08:07'God has brought us
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined93
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedLord, make me more like You.'
08:40We can pray prayers
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined98
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtogether to teach us
09:01how to receive what we've just prayed for.
09:05But in the middle of that, we don't
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined104
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis is part of God's discipline.
09:27As a Christian, where we have given our life to follow Jesus,
09:31then we can say that God is designing
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined109
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand when we grumble,
09:47it's an expression of unbelief.
09:51I want to return now to that first point.
09:55Looking again back in Genesis 3,
10:01we read the first part of satan's lie to Eve, "You will not certainly die".
10:13It is that little message which says,
10:15'It doesn't matter, no one will know,
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined118
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit's the eternal consequence...
10:36And God has given us a conscience
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined126
undefined:undefined127
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedremind us so many times, I remember,
11:16in many of the informal messages around the mass prayer or the sermon time.
11:22He would talk about it being like
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined132
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
7 tells us that our spirit
:undefinedthat came from God will return to God.
11:47Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:10,
11:49'We shall all appear before the
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined138
undefined:undefined139
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand Lazarus
12:11and what happens after this life.
12:14Everything is so clear,
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined145
undefined:undefined146
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwho lived in the 19th century.
12:58He wrote a booklet to his fellow clergymen, to encourage spiritual vitality.
13:06There's a paragraph which I'm going
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined155
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfitness for the task at hand
13:34is being tested during a trial period.
13:37That's a pretty good picture
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined161
undefined:undefined162
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedour eternal destiny may be decided.'
14:04Actually, at any moment, God could take us.
14:09And then it's too late
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined168
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedvariety of distractions.'
14:34'Whatever you do, get occupied,
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined175
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand its eternal interests.'
15:02And the Holy Spirit uses
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined180
undefined:undefined181
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedagain often reminded us
15:30was that we've got to live each day as if it were our last,
15:41because one day that will be true.
15:46We don't know when God is going to take us.
15:48Eternity is awaiting all of us.
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined194
undefined:undefined195
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedJesus suffered to make us holy.
17:09That happens through us
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined202
undefined:undefined203
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedJesus is the way!
17:48'How do we get ready for eternity?' -
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined212
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwho receive this message!
18:23And then in verse 14 to cap it all, it says,
18:26“For here we do not have
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined221
:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedas preparing for eternity.
19:13It is receiving His forgiveness.
19:16It's forgiving others as He taught us in the Lord's Prayer:
19:20Ask for forgiveness ourselves,
undefined:undefined00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,720
undefined:undefined228
undefined:undefined229
undefined:undefined230
undefined:undefined231
undefined:undefined232
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand say, 'Yes, Lord!'
