Sadie Robertson Huff Explains How to Fight the Devil’s Lies with God’s Word
By Movieguide® Contributor
Sadie Robertson Huff is sharing how to fight against lies we believe about ourselves by looking to God’s word.
In a sermon, she talked about how the enemy distracts us from who we are in Christ.
“Sometimes it’s hard to see a lie when it’s mixed in with the truth,” Huff explained. “You know what the enemy does these days? He gives you two truths and a lie daily. He says, ‘Oh, you overslept today. You’re not really where you want to be in your life. You’re worthless.’ Man, all of a sudden, I’m worthless. I am worthless. I’m definitely worthless because I overslept, and I can’t get my life together, and I’m not even where I want to be in life. So, that makes total sense that I am absolutely worthless.'”
“Don’t we do that?” she asked before revealing the truth. “But that’s not true. I’m not worthless. If I read the Word of God I have so much purpose for my life, but man, that was really convincing because you got me with two truths.”
“There is a Savior who is the truth and there is a devil who is a liar. They are both available,” she said. “They are both going to be speaking. The question is: who are you listening to?”
Scripture can guide us to truth, and God’s word is the best way to counter lies.
“But, instead, you would hear [lies] and read the Word and say, ‘I am not my sexuality,’ ‘I am actually not my anxiety.’ … ‘That is not my identity.’ … ‘I am a daughter of a good Father, who created me, who has healed me, who has redeemed me, who has washed me clean by the blood of sin,’” Huff continued.
When we focus on what God says about us, the enemy is “intimidated.”
“So, friends, when you get a good look at who God is, and you know who you are, and you’re reminded of what you’re called to do, the enemy will no longer try to intimidate you because he’s intimidated by who God is within you,” she said.
Movieguide® recently reported on Robertson Huff:
Huff shared that she and her sisters have been talking about “casual posting” on Instagram again — “You know, how we all used to when this app first started and you just slapped an Instagram filter on a hot dog you were eating and said ‘good lunch’ and if you got to 10 likes you never thought about it again. Those were the days ?”
However, she explained that it was easier to “casual” post when she was younger “because things felt casual. There was no pressure of followers, cancel culture, the meanest comment being the most liked, even the deals that come when the algorithm is going your direction. Not to mention life just isn’t as casual. Our world isn’t casual.”
“The truth is, my life is so sweet right now,” she wrote. “I have an awesome marriage, amazing kids, and doing great things. But a couple weeks ago in the midst all of my fun travel I had so much anxiety. I even told my friends I was sick one night, but in reality I was just dealing with anxiety. My calling felt costly. My stress felt valid. I cried on an airplane listening to a song about missing my family while I do my job. So it felt weird to casually post in all of those destinations when I felt like no one could see the full picture.”
Huff concluded, “I think that’s the thing we have to realize… the picture can never display the full picture. the caption can never articulate the fullness of a 24/7 reality.”
