There's a great quote from the movie Inception that I believe sheds a lot of light on the deceptive tactics of the enemy. As Cobb is finally standing up to his projection of Mal and telling it that he knows it is not his real wife, the projection answers something to the extent of
"How can you be so certain? What do you feel? What do you believe?"
In my opinion, this is exactly what the enemy asks us time and time again. It is so easy to just go with what we are feeling. Often, speaking truth against those emotions feels like just throwing words at something without effect.
In church yesterday, I was feeling very unworthy and unable to hear the Lord or involve myself in the worship. And it was really frustrating. I quickly realized however, that this was a spiritual attack and that the content of these feelings was untruth. I started praying and repeating the truth, but for awhile it seemed that I was just saying words, which was very discouraging. Finally, though, those things felt as though they had been broken off of me. It felt so good to be free again
