“So
now, turn from your conscience and its feelings to Christ, who is not
able to deceive. My heart and Satan, however, who will drive me to sin,
are liars. . . . You should not believe your conscience and your
feelings more than the word which the Lord, who receives sinners,
preaches to you. . . . Therefore, you are able to fight with your
conscience by saying, ‘You lie. Christ speaks the truth, and you do not.’”
Martin Luther, quoted in Paul Althaus, The Theology of Martin Luther (Philadelphia, 1966), page 59.
Listen many times in life you have to turn away from your feelings and
believe the Word of God. You have to fight spiritual warfare by speaking
the Word of God. Satan is a liar and the father of lies there is no
truth in him. But he will come and use your circumstances, your
feelings, your conscience, your mind, and other people to try and bring
you down but it is then that you have to speak up "You lie. Christ
speaks the truth and you do not!"
