When Our Words Preach for Satan Without Knowing
🌿When Our Words Agree with the Enemy
Philippians 4:8 | Psalm 19:14 | Proverbs 4:23-24 | Philemon 1:6
Introduction: Your Tongue Has a Preacher
Every day, our tongues preach. The question is—who are they preaching for?
“If it is not worth your meditation, then it is not worth your conversation.”
— Prophet TB Joshua
Words are never neutral. They either build or destroy, bless or curse, align with God’s Kingdom or with the enemy’s agenda.
Many of us, without realizing it (unknowingly), echo satan’s language in casual conversations (through everyday phrases). These everyday phrases may seem harmless—but in the spiritual realm, they carry serious weight or consequences.
These words sound normal, harmless and very casual to many. Yet behind some of these everyday phrases lie the very tools of the enemy.
Words create atmosphere.
Words shape outcomes.
And Satan, the father of lies, is not only a deceiver—he is a legalist. If you speak his language, he gains access.
That’s why Scripture says:
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight…” — Psalm 19:14
Let’s uncover how satan hijacks our vocabulary—and how to reclaim our words for the glory of God.
🌿 Unholy Phrases We Say Without Realizing
Here are a few of these phrases that form part of our daily conversations but used by the enemy against us:
1. Fear Is Satan’s Version of Faith
“I’m really scared they’ll sack me.”
“I just know something bad will happen.”
“What if I fail again?”
“I can’t do this—it’s too much for me.”
“I’m always unlucky; nothing ever works out for me.”
🌿What it really Is
Fear is satan’s counterfeit for faith. It believes in evil outcomes the way faith believes in divine outcomes.
Fear is a belief system—one that agrees with hell’s plans instead of Heaven’s promises.
Fear confesses defeat before the battle begins.
Fear is a more deceptive enemy than satan himself”
— Prophet TB Joshua
“God has not given us a spirit of fear…” — 2 Timothy 1:7
“We walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7
2. Doubt Is Satan’s Counterfeit of Trust
“What if God doesn’t come through?”
“I need a backup plan just in case.”
“I’m not sure God really cares about this.”
“Maybe God helps others, but not me.”
“I’ll believe it when I see it.”
“Right now, I’m not really sure if God still hears my prayers.”
🌿What it really Is
Doubt questions God’s faithfulness and opens the door to unbelief.
“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt…” — James 1:6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…” — Proverbs 3:5
3. Pride Is Satan’s Form of Glory
“I am very proud of my achievements.”
“I made it on my own.”
“People should know who I am.”
“I don’t need anyone’s help—I’ve got this.”
“I’m better than an at this.”
“I deserve all the credit (flowers) for this success.”
What it really Is
Pride is the sin that turned Lucifer into satan. It celebrates self instead of God.
Boasting replaces gratitude with ego.
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” — James 4:6
4. Envy Is Satan’s Admiration
“I really envy your house/car/marriage.”
“Some people just have all the luck.”
“Why them and not me?”
“I wish I had their life—it’s so perfect.”
“This life is not fair; they always get what they want.”
🌿What it really Is
What we call admiration is often covetousness.
Envy celebrates others in appearance but resents them in heart. It fuels strife and comparison.
Envy may wear a smile, but it harbors resentment. It breeds discontentment and division.
“Where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil practice.” — James 3:16
5. Lust Is Satan’s Version of Love
“I can’t stop thinking about her/him.”
“It’s just physical—no strings attached.”
“We’re both adults, it’s not a big deal.”
“It’s just a harmless fantasy.”
“Everyone does it—it’s normal.”
🌿What it really Is
Lust imitates love but destroys purity.
Lust mimics love but strips it of sacrifice and covenant. It reduces people to objects for personal pleasure.
“Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery in his heart.” — Matthew 5:28
“Love is patient, love is kind…” — 1 Corinthians 13:4–7
6. Deceit Is Satan’s Definition of Truth
“What they don’t know won’t hurt them.”
“I just twisted it a little—it’s not exactly lying.”
“Everyone does it—it’s just a white lie.”
“I didn’t tell the whole truth, but it’s not like I lied.”
“It’s just bending the rules a bit—it’s harmless.”
“I’ll say whatever I need to get what I want.”
“It’s not really lying—it’s just business strategy.”
🌿What it really Is
The devil rebrands manipulation as wisdom.
Deceit masquerades as wisdom but originates from the father of lies.
Deceit cloaks itself as cleverness, but it originates in satan’s nature.
“When he lies, he speaks his native language…” — John 8:44
7. Chaos Is Satan’s Version of Order
“I like things wild and unpredictable.”
“Rules are for the weak.”
“I thrive in chaos—it’s where I’m most creative.”
“Let’s just see how things go. No need to follow any structure, abeg.”
“I don’t need a plan; I’ll just wing it.”
“Let’s just go with the flow and see what happens.”
🌿What it really Is
Disorder invites confusion, not creativity.
God is a God of order. Chaos thrives in confusion and instability.
“Let all things be done decently and in order.” — 1 Corinthians 14:40
8. Wrath Is Satan’s Version of Justice
“I’ll never forgive them.” “They deserved it. I gave them what was coming.”
“They think they are smart. I’ll make sure they pay for what they did.”
“I can’t wait to see them suffer.”
“They had it coming—it’s only fair.”
“I’ll never let them get away with this.”
🌿What it really Is
Vengeance parades as justice, but lacks mercy.
Wrath seeks personal vengeance rather than trusting God’s justice. It consumes the heart and blinds us to mercy. God calls us to forgive and leave justice in His hands.
“Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath…” — Romans 12:19
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.” — Romans 12:14
Satan’s justice is vengeance; God’s justice is restoration.
“Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” — James 1:20
9. Greed Is Satan’s Generosity
“I’m just securing the bag for my family.”
“If I don’t look out for myself, who will?”
“I need to get as much as I can while I can.”
“It’s not greed, it’s just being smart with opportunities.”
“I deserve to have more than others because I work harder.”
“I’ll do whatever it takes to get ahead, even if it means stepping on others.”
🌿What it really Is
Greed disguises itself as ambition.
The root of greed is fear and selfishness. It masks itself as provision.
“A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” — Luke 12:15
10. Hopelessness Is Satan’s Silence
“There’s no point trying anymore.”
“Nothing will ever change—it’s useless.”
“I’ve given up on praying—it doesn’t work.”
“I’m just going to accept that this is my fate.”
“Why bother? It’s already too late.”
🌿What it really Is
Hopelessness silences faith and aligns with despair. It shuts the door to God’s promises and opens the door to defeat.
Hopelessness is the enemy’s way of muting your voice and extinguishing your belief in God’s power.
“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God…” — Psalm 42:11
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11
11. Complaining Is Satan’s Worship
“Why does this always happen to me?”
“I can’t stand this anymore—it’s so unfair.”
“Nothing ever goes right in my life.”
“Why is everyone else blessed except me?”
“I’m so tired of everything—it’s just too much.”
🌿What it really Is
Complaining magnifies problems instead of God’s power. It shifts focus from gratitude to grumbling, creating an atmosphere of negativity.
Complaining is the enemy’s counterfeit for praise—it glorifies the problem instead of the Provider.
“Do everything without grumbling or arguing…” — Philippians 2:14
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18
12. Gossip Is Satan’s Fellowship
“Did you hear what happened to them?”
“I hear say, I have gist for you…”
“I can’t believe they did that—let me tell you everything.”
“I’m just being honest about what I think of them.”
“Everyone needs to know the truth about what they did.”
🌿What it really Is
Gossip spreads division and sows discord. It masquerades as concern but originates from a heart of judgment and pride.
The enemy uses gossip to destroy relationships and hinder unity among believers.
Gossip gives the accuser a microphone
“A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.” — Proverbs 16:28
“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up…” — Ephesians 4:29
🌿What We Say Shapes Who We Serve
“May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight…” — Psalm 19:14
Our words reflect our meditation. If our hearts are aligned with worldly thinking, our conversations will echo darkness. But if we dwell in the Word, our mouths will preach faith, life, and truth.
🌿Guard Your Mouth, Guard Your Atmosphere
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.”
— Proverbs 4:23–24
When we speak, we are either:
Releasing light or inviting darkness
Aligning with truth or giving ground to lies
Empowering angels or authorizing demons
🌿How to Cleanse Your Speech
1. Guard Your Heart
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23
2. Filter Your Thoughts
“Whatever is true, noble, right…think on these things.” — Philippians 4:8
3. Acknowledge the Good in You
“That the communication of your faith may become effective…” — Philemon 1:6
4. Let the Word Dwell Richly
Fill your heart with God’s Word. Speak it. Pray it. Declare it.
🌿What Should We Say Instead?
You should always Speak from Revelation, Not Reaction
Prayer
“Lord, forgive me for using my mouth to echo satan’s lies. Cleanse my heart so my speech may reflect Your truth. I choose to speak life, faith, hope, and purity. May my mouth only preach what Heaven approves. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Reclaim your voice. Preach life. Let every word align with Heaven.
