Welcome to my new series, LIES GOOD MOMS BELIEVE!

Over the next 12 weeks I am going to be joined by some amazing guests, and together we are going to dedicate each episode to calling out a common lie the enemy speaks to the hearts of Moms. 

Today's guest is writer, speaker and host of the Your Spiritual Game Plan podcast, Cheri Fletcher!

We’re going to measure each lie against the truth of scripture, offer you some practical advice and Biblical encouragement through discussion and then end our time with a simple but powerful prayer to equip you to take these lies head on whenever they try and sneak their way into your mind.

Notice I am calling this series Lies GOOD Moms Believe because I want to point out that we all struggle with feeling like we are not good moms at one time or another. My goal throughout this series is to encourage you that you are, in fact, a good mom and you are in good company, Momma.

I believe the enemy knows we are all vulnerable in this area and he delights in hammering us with doubt, guilt, regret, fear - all in the form of complete and total lies. and that is why I am passionate about encouraging women to recognize the lies the enemy speaks to them so that they can call it out and put it in its right and proper place which is squashed under the authority of God.

Here’s the thing we have to remember: The enemy knows we cannot be effective for the gospel both in and outside of our homes if we are bogged down by or agreeing with the lies the enemy feeds us.

And that’s his plan. To derail, distract and disable us from making a difference for the kingdom of God as wives, moms, employees, volunteers - in whatever role He has given us to fulfill.

So over these next few moments, can I challenge you to turn off all distractions and really dive into our time together? I believe God has a word for you, to empower you to begin to identify when the enemy speaks lies to your Momma heart and to shut him down with all the authority He gives you through Christ Jesus.

FAVORITE TAKEAWAYS:

1. The enemy hates us
2. He is seeking to trip us up and derail us from our mission
3. He lies to us constantly in order to achieve that

When we end up dropping the ball, the enemy is there to remind you “you are nothing more than…”

The enemy was able to entire her (Eve) with wanting to be more than she already was and believing she wasn’t who God wanted her to be after all. Once he could get that thought into her mind, she took care of the rest on her own.

God has a PLAN for you and the enemy has a PLOT against you.

The enemy wasn’t created in God’s image and he can’t create.

We are made in God’s image and we can create.

Just = nothing more than VS Just = exactly what I need

Ephesians 2:10 

John 10:10 

What the enemy says is true, but it’s not THE TRUTH

We’re in a battle whether we choose to acknowledge it or not.

We’re in a battle whether we choose to be a part of it or not.

The only way I can find victory is to claim it every day.

Fight the battle but also keep the mission in mind
