This week, we are going to start a series called, “Overcoming the Lies of the Enemy."
John 8:31-32 tell us that it’s the Truth (or God’s Word) that we know that makes us free in every area of our lives.
This culture is yelling at us…the enemy is not keeping silent. He wants us deceived, because he knows if we are deceived, eventually he can get us to walk away from God once and for all.
So, in this series, we’re going to be talking about some of the biggest lies I hear that the enemy and this culture are telling teens today…and a lot of teens are believing them as truth.
We’re going to learn what the truth really is and how do we help reach people who may be deceived and encourage them with the Truth.
Many teens today are believing these lies as truth and I truly believe that these lies have a direct correlation to why suicide rates among teens today (especially teen girls) is so high…the highest it’s ever been.
- 22% of teens in high school have had serious thoughts about suicide.
- Think about this…the average high school today in the United States is 850 students.
- 22% of 850 students looks like this…187 students in that one high school have had serious thoughts about suicide.
- 9 percent of those high school students have actually attempted to take their lives.
- That 9% looks like this, out of that same high school, 76.5 students have tried to take their lives.
Ladies, this is heart breaking to me…and not okay. God has a purpose and a plan for every single one of your lives. He thoughts about every detail about you before you were born and it pleased Him to create you!
There are several reasons that the suicide rate is so high among teens and we’re going to be talking about them over the course of the next several weeks. Ladies, be sure to share these episodes with your friends. It can be the encouragement and hope that they have been looking for.
This week, we are going to be talking about Lie #1 which is: Follow your heart. Do what feels right.
In these past several weeks, I have heard so much talk about this, which is why it’s number one. It doesn’t mean it’s any worse than the other lies…a lie is a lie and it is not truth, no matter what it is.
Listen in to learn more about what the enemy is telling you about this lie and what the truth of God's Word actually says!
