Have you ever thought about
how you might have conceded?
That you might have agreed
to the lies
that were whispered your way?
The enemy of your soul
sought to convince you
How inadequate you are
How hopeless you should be
How nothing will ever change
How victory is not possible
and more…
And maybe at first
you fought the idea
But then you came to agree,
maybe without even thinking about it
You bought the lies
and thought it must be true
And there you have
Agreement with the enemy
But your Holy Spirit pure
wants you to hear Truth
About your identity
your hope
your destiny
about forgiveness
And you realize that it’s time to confess
your own agreement with the lies
Love covers all
when forgiveness is sought
Love covers all
And how glorious to find
that truth in that area no longer meets a wall in your mind
For discovery and confession and turning
have brought freedom
To hear and believe
what God says
And you know that you now agree
with His Truth for you

But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
– 2 Corinthians 11:3 (NIV)
And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and He wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.
– Ephesians 6:10-12 (MSG)
…for love covers a multitude of sins.
– 1 Peter 4:8 (NLT)
Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.
– 2 Timothy 2:25,26 (NLT)
