Publisher Description
Your Mind Is the Devil's Playground
Here's the truth: The devil can't beat you on even ground.
So he creeps his way into your mind, weaving words and situations into lies you take as truth: I'm a failure. Something's wrong with me. God's mad at me. Nobody cares about me.
These devil-crafted lies create the emotional, psychological and spiritual conflicts that rob you of your God-given purpose. Yet you can win these battles. Here are the biblical tools you need to recognize the sour, subtle voice of the Accuser. Once you do, you will see his toxic thought-patterns and destructive lies for the slander they are. And you will say with unshakable confidence and courage: "Shut up, devil!"
"In this insightful message, my friend Kyle Winkler exposes the lies of the enemy and empowers us to fight back. If you've ever wrestled with the accusations of the devil, then this book will equip you to shut him up."--JOHN BEVERE, bestselling author and co-founder of Messenger International and MessengerX
"I'm thrilled about Kyle's new book. Using biblical wisdom, neuroscience and his own experience in battle, Kyle will help you silence the enemy's taunts, break free from the lies that bind you and live life with bold, humble faith."--SUSIE LARSON, talk radio host, bestselling author and national speaker
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bible teacher Winkler (Activating the Power of God's Word) equips readers with the tools to recognize and silence self-doubt in this spunky guide. Drawing on personal anecdotes and biblical analysis, the author suggests that negative thoughts about one's "faults, failures, and inadequacies" are the work of the devil, and debunks 10 common "lies" the devil tells to make Christians feel insecure. To rebut the fear that bad things happen because God wants to punish wrongdoers, Winkler posits that "God loves you unconditionally" and that those hardships result from the devil's mischief and the consequences of living with original sin. The author pushes back against the worry that "you do not belong" by reminding readers that they are "handcrafted by God," and, though the devil may make them feel that they need to change to fit in, Winkler urges people to embrace their quirks as reflections of God's intention. The author sometimes makes such vague statements as "scripture interprets scripture," but his relentless positivity and message of God's love is unmistakable. This is an engaging volume by an insightful storyteller and biblical interpreter.
