After listening to a testimony by Janny Moore at our homeschool conference , I was convicted that these were satan's Lies. I have given him ground in my life by believing the lies he told me. Satan's goal is to drive us into darkness and to lead us on a path that is far from God. I am in the process of regaining this ground for the LORD. I am rebuking satan's lies in the blood of Jesus Christ.
As woman we tend to believe these lies and we are surrounded by images on TV and advertising that tells us that we are not beautiful. This is why in our family we have removed the TV and secular woman's magazines from our house.
Ladies we are beautiful because we are children of the one true God. Remember we are to define Beauty from God's Word
1 Peter 3:3-4 "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
* Talk with your daughters and ask them is there anything going on or if there are any things that satan might be whispering to them.
* Keep the lines of communication open.
* Never be shocked by what they say, they may clam up if you react in the wrong way.
* Stop what you are doing if they need to talk
* Take time even if very late at night
* Tell them your struggles so they don't feel like the black sheep of every field ( borrowed from my daughter Julia who learnt it at " A Passion For Jesus")
* Encourage their dads to talk with them and have special time with them
( My daughters are doing " Before you meet prince charming" and Bright Lights training" with their dad)
* Teach them to engraft scripture in their hearts so they are equipped to rebuke satan.
* Tell them even if people tell them lies it is not true God loves them.
* Conquer anger in your life by the Grace of God ( we have used the Anger resolution seminar from IBLP)
This is our future generation and satan wants nothing more than to destroy it.
Give the power back to GOD.
" I am the Way the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me" John 14:6
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; " Ephesians 6:12-14
I love this letter " The Fathers Love Letter"

It is true that we listen to these lies, but it seems like no matter which world we are in, Satan can find his own way of convincing us. For me, I don't look at TV or secular magazines, but I see the families with the beautiful well behaved children, the godly, loving husbands and I believe I can never measure up. I can never dress right, I can't homeschool good enough and my prayers will never be heard, because I don't fast enough.
There will always be someone or something to tell us we are not good enough. For me, it comes down to true faith and a relationship with God to know what is true and what is a lie.
Sorry, this is a little book....anyhow....great post!
Amen to that!!! Without God we have nothing
This is one issues I have Mary...always comparing myself to others. And I mean godly homeschool mamas who always seem to have it together, always a smile on their face, and are smooth sailing all the way. thanks for the timely post. :)
