PROVERBS 18:8
2Kings 18:28 Then the commander stood and called out in Hebrew, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria! 29 This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you. He cannot deliver you from my hand. 30 Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the Lord when he says, ‘The Lord will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
31 “Do not listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then each of you will eat fruit from your own vine and fig tree and drink water from your own cistern, 32 until I come and take you to a land like your own—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey. Choose life and not death!
“Do not listen to Hezekiah, for he is misleading you when he says, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’
Lies when spoken with confidence and authority sound believable. I had read this and thought those thoughts before going to church today. Then after church I was talking to my husband and I had said something about how we in our humanness will have thoughts that are because of our own personal wants and desires that are selfish and that the enemy will use it against us and whisper lies about it to distract us from God's word and will. And Dave's comment was "Lies is right and they sound so believable". We need to know God and His word so well that we recognize the lies.
2Kings 18:33 Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria? 34 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivvah? Have they rescued Samaria from my hand? 35 Who of all the gods of these countries has been able to save his land from me? How then can the Lord deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
Trying to make God equal with other god's is the same tactic that the enemy uses today as well. But if you have a relationship with the Lord we will KNOW the truth. Jesus is the Truth and no matter how loud the lies are shouted you won't listen to it and you wont believe it.
