TDV: Stop Answering The Enemy’s Questions
Ever notice how the most unsettling doubts arrive as perfectly reasonable questions? We open with a simple, strong idea: not every question needs your attention. From the serpent’s line in Eden to the DMs and timelines on your phone, the playbook hasn’t changed—twist the truth, spark confusion, then keep you chatting until conviction feels like fog. We discuss openly the importance of discerning voices, protecting peace, and choosing silence when the goal is to undermine what you already know is right.
If this resonates, share the episode with someone who needs spiritual strength, subscribe for more faith-centered stories and teachings, and leave a review to help others find this message. Your voice helps spread peace where noise has had the mic for too long.

SPEAKER_04:Hello dear friendies. God bless you. Blessings upon you. Let us hear the voice of God only, not the voice of man or the voice of the devil. Sat is spirit, he's invisible, and Satan has to materialize itself through a man. And since in the days of Adam and Eve, they had no friends, no children, no relatives, no co-workers, no neighbors. They were alone. Satan used a serpent, a cobra to speak to Eve. Nowadays, Satan will not speak to like a dog, a cat, a serpent. Because we are not going to hear an animal talking to us. About who do we hear? Friends, co-workers, neighbor, relatives, parents. In the days of Adam, the scripture says that the serpent said to her, has God indeed said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Satan heard when God said, Do not eat from the tree of life. All the other trees you can eat. But Satan to distort the word of God to cause doubt, brought a question. Many times Satan speaks through questions. When he uses somebody to come to you and to tell you, has God said this? Is this right? Is that wrong? When you already know the answer, you need to ignore these questions. You know, not every question should be answered. And times you have to go uh silent, mute, do not answer those questions. But the woman said to the serpent, we may eat of the tree, we may eat of the trees of the garden, but the fruit which is in the middle of the garden. God said, You shall not eat, nor shall you not eat, lest you die. And the serpent then answered, It is on question. The serpent said, You may, you may eat, you will not surely die. So Sata asked the question when he saw that the woman was confused, then Sata himself came and answered her, you may eat, you shall not surely die. So Sata works with questions to confuse you. Do not keep talking to Sata in your mind. Do not keep chatting with Sata. Because Sata using our chats, social media, and many other stuff. Today is not a serpent, but social media. We are going to talk about it tomorrow. But the reality is, don't answer Sata's question. Do not talk to him. God bless you. Bye bye.

SPEAKER_02:Before receiving the Holy Spirit, I was a very per I was a person that was aggressive. I used to curse. I was a bully. I was lost in the church, even though I was in the church for over 10 years. I was lost. When I came inside the church, I was like basically like an angel. But outside, I used to fight a lot. I used to curse a lot. I used to be trying to act tough. I used to be, you know, what you could call it angry a lot. Like I always wanted to fight. Nobody could tell me anything. It always had to be my way and nobody else's way. So I went ahead and dated this person, this girl. And when I dated her, it was like chaos. It was chaos. Like we used to fight a lot, argue a lot. It used to be nothing. It's like just another person always arguing, fighting, fist fighting. Then after that relationship, I got into another one where me and that person, it was like never clicking. I always wanted to be a boss and always trying to take over everything. And I was like, okay, let me see if I bring him into the church. So I brought him to church and I was trying to change him. And that messed up everything. But I was still coming to church and I was realizing that it was time for me to change. So I left that relationship. I let him go, cut him off everything. And then from there, I went into the altar and told God that I'm done with that relationship. I'm done cursing. I'm done lying. I'm done doing all those stuff. I didn't have peace. It was like kept repeating itself over and over. And I'm like, when is change is gonna happen? I was in church and I took part of many Fasting of Daniels, but it was this one where it really woke me up and you know, I took it really serious. Usually when I took did a fasting of Daniel, it wasn't serious. Like I would do it and I stopped halfway. Like I would start but not finish. And this time I was like, you know what? I'm gonna take this serious. I read the Bible, I make sure made sure that I meditate on the Bible. It's not like I'm just reading it or the words reading me. I meditate, I understood. When I realized like what God is really about during this fast, I was so happy that I, you know, let everything go. And I took it very serious, very serious. And from there, that's when I received the Holy Spirit, and I was so happy and I was filled peace. Pastor had asked us, you know, who really wants God? Come forward. I didn't second guess anything, I just went straight up. I didn't care what anybody said. I was like, you know what? This is the time to show God I want his spirit. I'm tired of being lost, I'm tired of going over the same thing over and over. So I went up there and I seek with all my might and no time. The Holy Spirit came inside of me and I was full of joy and peace. And the weight that was on me was lifted. The day I received the Holy Spirit, I was happy. Like I just felt peace. I was like, after um I received it, I told um God that I would no longer like text my ex anymore. I would no longer curse, lie. As soon as service was finished, I went straight ahead, didn't wait for anything. I blocked the person. Like, I was just I felt very at peace. Like it's an assurance that you have that you have God. It's like anything like you do, you just have courage to like strength to finish it. Like, do it. Like anything you do, you're just strong with it. It's not a feeling that goes away or anything, it's a feeling that you have God walking with you. It's like you're not feeling you don't fear anything, like you just know He's with you. Today, I am a changed person. I no longer bully people, I no longer curse, lie. People around me do notice the change in me. They tell me a lot, like things that I did change, and I was like, wow, I'm happy for that.
