If you want to know how to stop believing Satan’s lies, then, this post will be of great help to you so that you can stop believing the lies of the devil.
Many bible verses in both the Old Testament and the New Testament tell us that Satan is a liar and that he has no truth in him and that when he lies, he does so according to his nature.
There are many Satan’s lies you must not believe in both the religious circles and in the world that are destroying and leading many to eternal perdition in hell.
This is why as believers we need to be watchful and vigilant so that we are not swept away and deceived by Satan’s lies that are deceiving many today.
With that said, let’s find out how to stop believing Satan’s lies in 7 easy steps so that you can protect and preserve your precious soul from eternal ruin.
7 Ways To Stop Believing Satan’s Lies.
Below are the 7 effective ways that will help you stop believing Satan’s lies no matter how sweet they may be and start embracing the truth in your life instead.
- Ground Yourself In God’s Word.
- Be Filled With the Holy Spirit.
- Don’t Give In To Temptation Or Sin.
- Test Every Spirit.
- Understand That Satan Is A Liar.
- Don’t Listen To False Teachings.
- Be In A Bible Believing Church.
1. Ground Yourself In God’s Word.
One of the first things you can do to help you stop believing the lies of the devil is that you need to ground yourself in God’s word where the truth and eternal life can only be found.
Reading God’s word regularly will protect you from believing Satan’s lies and deceptions rampant today that you have otherwise succumbed to due to your ignorance of God’s word.
If you are void of God’s word in your Christian life, you will be susceptible to Satan’s deceptions due to your ignorance of God’s word as you will just believe just about anything without checking it up with God’s word if it’s true or not.
You need to understand that the Bible is the standard of God’s truth and the only place where you will find the truth that won’t lead you astray as God’s word acts as a lamp to one’s feet and paths as Psalms 119:105 tells us.

2. Be Filled With The Holy Spirit.
The second thing that will help you to stop believing the lies of the devil that are everywhere now is that you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit which will help you discern the truth from the deception rampant in society today.
Jesus Christ promises us in John 16:13 that He will send us the Spirit of truth to guide us in all truth so that we don’t get deceived by Satan’s lies found in false religions of the world and those being perpetuated by mainstream media.
If you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, the devil will find it easy to deceive you with his lies, which will seem true on the surface as you will not have a spirit of discernment to help you decipher Satan’s lies.
However, if you are filled with God’s Holy Spirit, you will find it easy to discern Satan’s lies that are everywhere in society today explaining why many are lost and don’t know what the truth is anymore.

3. Don’t Give In To Temptation Or Sin.
The third thing that will keep you from being susceptible to the lies of Satan is you must not give in to temptations to sin or believe the lies of the devil no matter how sweet they may sound.
If you give in to temptation and sin, the devil will find it easy to further deceive you with his lies so that you may start thinking that practicing one of two sins once in a while isn’t a big deal as long as you go to church every Sunday.
But as you know, sin is something you need to avoid in your life if you claim to be a real Christian professing the Christian faith. If you don’t avoid sin, it will deceive you and ruin you at the end (Romans 6:23).
This is why you need to flee temptation and sin at all costs so that you don’t allow the devil to deceive you and convince you that you can live in sin and still be a Christian on your way to heaven, which is false by the way.
4. Test Every Spirit.
The fourth thing that will help you to stop believing Satan’s evil lies which are contrary to scripture is you need to test every spirit to see if they are deceiving spirits from Satan as 1 John 4:1-6 tells us.
We are told in the above verse that we must not believe every spirit, especially in the times we live in where anyone nowadays claims to be a prophet of God but in reality, is a messenger of Satan sent to deceive many.
The reason for this is that many deceiving antichrist spirits are out in the world, especially in the church that is deceiving many into falsehood through many false teachings and false doctrines in many churches today.
If you don’t test every spirit and just randomly believe anything you hear, you will be carried away and deceived by the lies of the devil that are everywhere today be it in church or society through woke ideas the mainstream media is pushing on the masses.
5. Understand That Satan Is A Liar.
The fifth thing that will help you stop believing Satan’s lies is by understanding that he’s a liar from the beginning and the father of all lies as we know them as the Lord Jesus Christ tells us in John 8:44.
If you know that the devil is a liar from the beginning and that he has no truth in him, it will become easier for you not to believe his evil lies no matter how good they feel to the flesh.
On the other hand, if you don’t know if the devil is a liar as scripture reveals to us, you will be caught up in the web of his lies that are everywhere in society be it via false religions, false apostles, or lies found in mainstream media.
You need to first know that Satan is a liar and that he can’t tell you the truth if you are not to believe his deceptive lies many have fallen into and you can only do so if you know the scriptures.
6. Don’t Listen To False Teachings.
The sixth thing you can do to help you stop believing Satan’s lies either knowingly or unknowingly is you must not give your ears to listening to false teachings or doctrines that are taught by many false teachers and charlatans in the church today.
God’s word warns us in 2 Peter 2:1-3 that in the last days, there will be many false prophets and false teachers who will lead many astray and away from the truth with their cleverly devised deceptive lies and false teachings.
This is especially true in the times we live in which have seen the mushrooming of many false teachers in many churches today who are teaching false doctrines contrary to scripture leading many followers astray.
So, as a believer in Christ Jesus, you need to be vigilant and don’t give your ears to the false teachings of false teachers, no matter how good they feel because you will be deceived by them if you listen to them long enough.

7. Be In A Bible Believing Church.
Last but not least, if you are to stop believing the lies of Satan or being susceptible to them, you need to attend or be in a bible believing church where the full counsel of God’s word is taught and preached.
Being in a bible believing church that teaches the truth will help you get grounded in God’s word so that you don’t get easily deceived by the false teaching and false doctrines flying all around in the religious circles leading many astray.
Sadly, many don’t like being in a church that teaches the undiluted truth of God’s word and that talks about sin as many people have itching ears 2 Timothy 4:3 talks about what makes such people hate the truth.
Instead, these people like being in false churches that teach what will make them feel good even if they are lies from the pit of hell. However, as a true Christian, you must refrain from feel-good false churches and be in a church that teaches the truth.
Conclusion.
I hope the above 7 ways on how to stop believing Satan’s lies will help you not get deceived by many lies that are in the church and society today.
May prayer as you leave is our Lord Jesus Christ by His grace guide and protect you from the lies of Satan leading many to eternal ruin in hell.
