How to Spot and Resist the Enemy’s Lies

Steps to Take, Every Day

Via The Joshua Commission

But you shall cling to the LORD your God just as you have done to this day. - Joshua 23:8

Acknowledge the Battle: Stop living as if spiritual warfare is just a metaphor. Accept that the enemy is real and active.
Identify the Counterfeits: Compare every thought, belief, or “truth” you encounter with God’s Word. If it doesn’t line up with Scripture, then it’s a counterfeit.
Guard Your Thoughts: Like Eve in the garden, we are most vulnerable when we entertain subtle lies. Take thoughts captive and submit them to Christ.
Stand on God’s Promises: Memorize Scripture, especially verses that remind you of God’s presence, strength, and truth.
Engage Daily: Prayer, Scripture, fellowship, and obedience aren’t optional—they are your weapons. Use them.
Reject Passivity: Refuse the sidelines. If you think you’re “done” or have “nothing to give,” recognize that as a lie.
Move Forward with Courage: Like Joshua, lead with strength, knowing God is with you in the fight.

When you practice to recognize the counterfeit and stand firm in God’s truth, you will advance in victory!.
