Don’t Buy the Lies
by Gloria Copeland
The devil has started a number of rumors about Ken and me in the years since we started preaching the gospel. Some have been so ridiculous they actually astounded me. When I heard them I thought, That doesn’t have any truth in it at all. Someone must have just sat down and made it up!
But we’ve had it easy compared with what God has to put up with. No one ever said anything as bad about us as what’s been said about Him. He’s been lied about more than anyone in the world!
Ever since the Garden of Eden, the devil has been slandering God’s character. He’s told people God can’t be trusted and that He’s stingy with His blessings. He’s blamed God for all the calamities that happen, and said He sends suffering into the lives of good people for reasons no one understands.
Even though those rumors have no truth in them, the devil has peddled them so successfully that some of them have even worked their way into church. They’ve become religious traditions, passed down from generation to generation.
For example, when I was growing up I heard God doesn’t work miracles anymore. My church taught healing had passed away. I never knew exactly when it passed away. No one ever told me. They just said God was no longer in the healing business, so if you’re sick, it’s too bad. There’s nothing for you.

The only way the devil can keep you in bondage is by talking you out of the Word. Don’t let him do it. Refuse to buy his lies. Here are some points to get you there:
1) Don’t believe the lie that healing has passed away.
Exodus 15:26; Malachi 3:6
2) Jesus paid the price for you to be healed.
Isaiah 53:5
3) God doesn’t put sickness on you to teach you something, He teaches you through the Word.
2 Timothy 3:16
4) God doesn’t get glory from sickness, He gets glory when you are healed by His power.
Matthew 15:31
5) Don’t submit to the devil when he tries to put sickness on you, stand against him by faith in God’s Word.
James 4:7
