Sometimes we worry too much about what the enemy says to us. Interestingly,
when you look back long after, you wonder why it mattered to you because you
realize that all he said did not make sense though in that bad time, his words
sounded true and one is inclined to believe his untruth even above the word of
God. Sadly, we sometimes go on to make quick decisions based on these untruths
which was the devil's plan from the beginning. What he does is trouble us so
much that we, in making the wrong decisions ourselves, then take ourselves of
the right path and into trouble.
Nehemiah 4: 1, 2a & 3KJV "But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews. And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? ... Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall."
The same way he mocked the Jews using Sanballat and Tobiah, is the way he is mocking you you right now. Whether he speaks through someone or in your mind, he wants to mock you and you must shut him out. If you are in a situation like this right now, please do not let him lure you any further away from God. Stop listening to him and know beyond a shadow of doubt that he is liar and has never told any truth. Just as it is impossible for God to lie, it is impossible for him to tell the truth. Even when he appears to be aligned with truth, there is a hidden lie in whatever he says. It is unfortunate that he comes at our low moments using the situation against us. Satan has no sympathies no matter how sweet his suggestions sound.
Genesis 3: 4 & 5KJV "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
Hard as this may be for us, it is time to begin to believe our God again. I have to tell you though that sometimes I am afraid because my head tells me that God is too slow and at other times I wish He would show me everything in the future just so that I will be more comfortable with challenges I am faced with where I am at; but I have learnt to accept that He has elected not to walk with me in that way even if He does that with you. So I must learn to walk with Him in the way He has elected to walk with me for He is God and He moves in different ways. It is His prerogative how He elects to walk with each child of His and no one knows the factors that guide His decision. This is one of those things that reveal His sovereignty.
So please do not feel bad because speaks to one in his dreams and another has word of knowledge or any other gift which you don't; what is important is that you hear His voice when He speaks and you follow Him. The extent of what He reveals to you is His prerogative. Don't let that bother you. Just focus on HIm. Whatever He does not reveal to you, you don't need to know to defeat the devil where you are at. We have to encourage ourselves to shut out the devil, strengthening ourselves against him. Just like he did with Samson, using Delilah, his plan is to wear you and I out with words so that he can attack and destroy us in our weak moments.
