Dan Mohler on perversions of our view of the devil
Ignore game
Did
you ever play the ignore game growing up? And somebody either ignored you or
you ignored somebody? And they were like so mad? “Oh, come on. You know you
hear me. Knock it off.” And you’re like, “Did somebody say something?”…We’re
taught: bind the devil, rebuke the devil, bind the devil. And you’re all tired
and frustrated and wondering why it isn’t working and still hearing the
thought. Because you can bind the
devil all day but if you don’t replace the lie with truth you’ll never go free
in the matter. Your war is not with the devil. It’s walking in truth. You’re
fighting the good fight of faith. You’re not fighting the devil. He has
schemes and strategies set against you - trying to wrestle with you. Why don’t
you just pin him with truth and not give him any points? … You’re taught to
bind the devil and rebuke the devil, “I bind you devil. I cast that thought out
in Jesus’ name.” And the thought goes [comes right back.] Now you’re tired.
You’ve paced. You wore out your carpet. You just fought the devil and shadow
boxed for an hour. Now your authority is in question. Your right standing with
God is in question. “Why isn’t the gospel ‘working.’” Now you’re even more
vulnerable. Now you’re beat up in your identity. You look in the mirror, “What
a wimpy Christian. Maybe the devil’s right.” I’ve seen this stuff. I’m not
making this up. I’ve seen it countless times. Don’t let it ever be you after
this day.1
Devil is a liar! - Flip it
It’s
not about what the devil is saying to me. He’s a liar. What’s it matter? “Well
yes, but the devil’s saying…” So what! He’s
a liar. Flip it and you’ve got your answer. “Pray for me. The devil has
really been speaking stuff to me.” Man you ought to be excited. He’s a liar.
Flip it. He says, “You’re never going to make it?” You must be going to make
it! Why do you even let that move you? Why do need prayer? You do not need
prayer! You need to believe the faith.4
