How the Enemy Uses Lies to Keep You Feeling Defeated...and How God Has Forgiven You

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, you can’t shake the guilt of your past? That constant whisper telling you, “You’re not really forgiven” is one of the enemy’s most powerful tactics. His goal is simple: keep you living in defeat and doubting God’s grace.

The Enemy’s Strategy: Lies That Bind

The enemy knows he cannot undo the cross, so he attacks your mind. He plants lies like:

“God hasn’t really forgiven you.”

“Your past defines you.”

“You’ll never be free.”

These lies create a cycle of shame and condemnation, making you feel stuck...even though Jesus already set you free.

The Truth: God’s Forgiveness Is Complete

The Bible says in Romans 8:1, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” When God forgives, He doesn’t do it halfway. Your sins are not just covered—they are removed. You are redeemed, restored, and loved.

HOW DO WE BREAK FREE FROM DEFEAT? Make it Make sense. Right?

Renew Your Mind Daily

Replace lies with truth. Speak God’s promises over your life: “I am forgiven. I am free.”

Reject Shame

Shame is a prison built on lies. Declare out loud: “My past does not define me—Jesus does.”

Stay Connected to Community

Isolation amplifies lies. Surround yourself with believers who remind you of your identity in Christ.
