Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
the enemy is not creative, the only thing he is the “father” of are lies and those who propagate lies..
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man 1 Cor 10:13
the enemy can only recycle the same old lies over and over in his efforts to steal, kill, and destroy… (John 10:10)
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Eph 6:16
the fiery darts of the enemy are lies…
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17
the truth is God’s word
you fight off lies the same way Jesus did, with the truth (God’s word)… (Matt 4:1-11)
faith is trusting the truth, and the truth quenches the fiery darts…
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Luke 8:11
truth is a seed that, when planted in good soil and watered, it grows to bear good fruit (Luke 8:4-18)
lies are also a type of seed, but the seeds of lies only produce tares and thorns (weeds)…
you allow these weed seeds to get planted by repeating these lies to yourself…
lying to yourself no different than any other kind of lying, it is sin…
