In this video In Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table, you'll learn to reject the lies and listen to the truth.

The enemy wants to crush you. He wants to steal from you everything you value. He wants to kill everything in your life that’s good. He wants to destroy you. If he can claim the victory over your life. But you don’t have to let him get a foothold. For you have been invited to an intimate relationship with the Almighty. Your Good Shepherd has set a table before you… and the enemy has not been invited to join. ~ Louie Giglio

WELCOME

Have you ever sent a text in the heat of the moment? Maybe you are dealing with a situation where someone at work takes credit for your idea. Or perhaps you are facing yet another argument with a family member. Or maybe it is neighborhood gossip, divisions in your church, or aggressive online posts that cause you a level of anger.

Whatever the situation, it stirs up feelings of defensiveness, insecurity, frustration, or even anger within you. So you reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or confidante with a text to recount the latest strike in your battle. Your hope, of course, is that the person will come alongside you in your dismay and frustration and offer a show of support. You want to be affirmed… and you know you can count on your supporter to reinforce your viewpoint.

You’re eager for the validation your ally can provide. You stare at your phone as you see the signal that your text is being read. You wait for the response to come through. But when it does, it is not at all what you expected. Your wise confidante simply tells you to not allow the other person to lead you into harboring feelings of hostility, resentment, and bitterness.

Your initial reaction is disappointment, followed by anger and confusion. What is your friend talking about? Didn’t they read your message? Doesn’t your friend understand how you are feeling? But suddenly, your perspective shifts. You recognize the gift you’ve just been given. Your friend’s response may not have been what you expected, but it was certainly what you needed. The roiling emotions and jumbled thoughts weren’t really about the situation that caused your rant. No, they were about what is going on in your soul.

You are in a spiritual battle, and the enemy is trying to wedge his seeds of doubt, fear, anger, and distrust into your consciousness. He is trying to get a seat at the “table” of your mind so he can lead you down paths he wants you to travel on.

The good news is that you don’t have to go there. You can win this battle. But first, you have to recognize what you’re up against. Please watch this video to better understand how Satan wants you to to invite him to your table.. the question is........ WILL YOU?
