Twenty Cans of Success

Neil Anderson developed a list of some of Satan’s favorite lies, and God’s answer to them. When we buy into Satan’s lies we feel defeated and trapped, but when we believe God’s truth, we feel free and refreshed.

Why should I say I can’t when the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength (Phil. 4:13)?

Why should I lack when I know that God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in Glory in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19)?

Why should I fear when the Bible says God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (II Tim. 1:7)?

Why should I lack faith to fulfill my calling knowing that God has allotted to me a measure of faith (Rom. 12:3)?

Why should I be weak when the Bible says that the Lord is the strength of my life and that I will display strength and take action because I know God (Ps. 27:1; Dan. 11:32)?

Why should I allow Satan supremacy over my life when He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world (I John 4:4)?

Why should I accept defeat when the Bible says that God always leads me in triumph (II Cor. 2:14)?

Why should I lack wisdom when Christ became wisdom to me from God and God gives wisdom to me generously when I ask Him for it (I Cor. 1:30; James 1:5)?

Why should I be depressed when I can recall to mind God’s loving-kindness, compassion, and faithfulness, and have hope (Lam. 3:21-23)?

Why should I worry and fret when I can cast all my anxiety on Christ who cares for me (I Pet. 5:7)?

Why should I ever be in bondage knowing that there is liberty where the Spirit of the Lord is (Gal. 5:1)?

Why should I feel condemned when the Bible says I am not condemned because I am in Christ (Rom. 8:1)?

Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me always and He will never leave me nor forsake me (Matt. 28:20; Heb. 13:5)?

Why should I feel accursed or that I am the victim of bad luck when the Bible says that Christ redeemed me form the curse of the law that I might receive His Spirit (Gal. 3:13,14)?

Why should I be discontented when I, like Paul, can learn to be content in all my circumstances (Phil. 4:11)?

Why should I feel worthless when Christ became sin on my behalf that I might become the righteousness of God in Him (II Cor. 5:21)?

Why should I have a persecution complex knowing that nobody can be against me when God is for me (Rom. 8:31)?

Why should I be confused when God is the author if peace and He gives me knowledge through His indwelling Spirit (I Cor. 14:33; 2:12)?

Why should I feel like a failure when I am a conqueror in all things through Christ (Rom. 8:37)?

Why should I let the pressures of life bother me when I can take courage knowing that Jesus has over come the world and its tribulations (I John 16:33)?

The 20 Cans of Success are from books by Neil Anderson. These are powerful books that help us see things from God’s perspective, and help us counteract the lies that Satan speaks into our lives continually.
