But, I know someone else who uses traps, (and he’s no relation).
His name is Lucifer, Deceiver, The Father of Lies…Satan.
And because he is powerless to attack Christians, he almost exclusively uses…traps to catch his prey.

Sadly many Christians today get caught in a TRAP OF OFFENCE. So this morning, (part 2) I want to talk about how to avoid getting trapped…and next week (part 3)…when you’ve been caught, how to get out.

They don’t know their true Identity. (CD…part 1, part 2)

In both messages I talked about the fact that words are powerful things. Well, even though I’ve preached on this subject a few years ago, I know it’s time to teach it again. If not for your sake, at least for mine…because words can also cause you to be trapped in an OFFENCE.

JOHN BEVERE WROTE A BOOK CALLED “THE BAIT OF SATAN”…PRIMARILY IT WAS A TEACHING ABOUT HOW MANY CHRISTIANS ARE CAUGHT IN A TRAP OF UN-FORGIVENESS AND BITTERNESS AND SO…
THEY’RE UNABLE TO GO FORWARD IN THEIR WALK WITH CHRIST
HOW DID THEY GET CAUGHT? SELAH SIMPLE…THEY TOOK THE BAIT.

But, our enemy is constantly reminding us of our past failures.
One of his names is “The Accuser of the brethren.” Rev. 12:10

And the fact is, we have all been called names and some of them we rejected, but some, we have taken on as our Identity.

Hurtful, destructive names…and because those names have been a part of our lives for so long, we’re more familiar with what the enemy has called us, then who God says we ARE!
And it has affected the way we live our lives. (GET A CD)

We ended our time last week with looking at 32 statements of who God says we really are. I included a copy with the bulletin.

THE FACT IS, EVERYTHING YOU DO…DOES…FLOW OUT OF YOUR OWN I.D. …(SLOW)…..EVEN IF IT’S WRONG. (SELAH)

Now, there are a lot of old “sayings” that really aren’t true.
One of them is “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”

The truth is…Words…are powerful things.
They can be hurtful and damage a person’s life, esp young ones.
Names people call a kid can set the wrong course for their life.

But, more powerful than any hurtful words that Man can say… the Word of God…is supreme and absolute in power.
His Word created the universe. Hey…That’s power!
