Title of this message is He's playing you. He's playing you. We're talking today in this

collection of messages. Let me get this straight about how to withstand deception in spiritual warfare.

That's what this conversation is about as we come through some things at the beginning of a new

year that we want to get straight.

As we approach the year, we want to have a focused mentality. And we've talked about

singleness, how to look at a season or a life of singleness and have a proper mentality on that.

We've talked about finances. The thing that Jesus says is so interconnected to our heart,

and that is our budget, how to get that straight in this year.

And now we want to talk about how to withstand the deception coming against us when it comes

to spiritual warfare. I was thinking about Frozen, the movie Frozen, the Disney movie, where this

girl decides to marry someone. She's just met people, right?

And everybody in her life seems like they have no idea what they're talking about.

Who are you to stand in the way of true love?

And all of us, the people watching it, we're just like, our teeth are gritted, like,

this is not going to end well, right?

It's not going to end well.

Of course, when you're caught up in that infatuation, it's so hard to hear truth because your heart wants

what it wants. And it's, it knows that you guys both finish each other's sandwiches and what

color are his eyes dreamy and he probably doesn't pick his nose, right? And, and little does she know, this guy's a monster with a capital M.

He's going to watch her dying with ice in her heart and tell her,

I don't love you, I only want something from you.

I mean, it's chilling, pun intended.
