And so learning that he runs the same play actually really helps our ability to know how to respond when, when they come.

And so that's something that's been really helpful for me and just identifying those things.

Yeah, it's so interesting.

Oftentimes our soul will feel a little off.

Something will feel a little off, but we can't quite put our finger on it.

You know, I think about Jesus being tempted and he was tempted in the wilderness and he's having this moment of kind of going through the exact same thing that Eve went through, but he didn't fall for the enemy's lies.

And every single time as he was tempted with a lie, he always responded with truth.

And I think so often we have these moments where we're believing a lie or we're feeling maybe the symptom of believing a lie.

Even if we can't identify, I'm believing a lie, we're feeling stuck in some way.

We're feeling bound in some way.

We're feeling whether it's depressed, anxious, we're comparing ourselves, we feel less than, we're feeling rejected.

Whatever the feeling may be, if you really get down to it, it's always traced back to having some type of belief system.

And so, and believing some type of lie, coming into agreement with some type of lie.

And you look at how Jesus responded every single time the enemy tempted him with a lie.

He didn't try to engage in this moment.

He didn't even try to like muster up the like, okay, I got to like have what it's, I mean, he's Jesus.

He could have, he could have just snapped his finger and Satan would have been gone.

But he gave us a blueprint of how we overcome the enemy's lies.

And it's, we respond with the truth.

And so the moment we believe the lie, we empower the liar.
