      Introduction

      Have you ever struggled with the idea that God is mad at you? Have you entertained the discouraging thought that He’s disappointed with you, disapproving of you, or unhappy with you in some way? If you’ve ever had any of those thoughts or feelings, I want you to know, first of all, that you are not alone. A lot of people have these thoughts and feelings, sometimes on a regular basis. It’s no surprise that these ideas can be debilitating to your perception of yourself and of God. Having the feeling that God is angry with you, or disappointed, can affect your relationship with Him, with others, and your ability to effectively function as a child of God.

      I want to share with you an important message in this book: God isn’t mad at you. He’s not disappointed in you, or angry with you, or unhappy about you. I’m going to tell you why He isn’t mad. In fact, I have ten reasons why God’s not mad, and I’m happy to share these reasons with you. Knowing the truth can be the difference between bondage and freedom. The Bible says, The truth will set you free. (John 8:32)

      This booklet is a transcript of a two-part message that I gave in my home church. My prayer is that this book will bring you the freedom to know God as He truly is and that you will be empowered to live in the confidence and assurance of His love for you.

      1 The Devil Is a Liar

      This might sound like an odd reason to start with, but I’m going to start here because it’s important for you to understand that the devil has a particular plan. Satan wants to alienate you from God, and he has a strategy to do it. The first reason that you can know that God isn’t mad at you is because the devil is a liar. His strategies are his lies, his deception. He’s called the father of lies for a good reason.

      Have you ever known somebody who had the sad ability to break up good friends and to destroy friendships? They’re sometimes called busybodies. They’re the kind of people that will go to someone else and say, Do you know what so-and-so said about you?

      Then they’ll go to somebody else and whisper, You know that he said such-and-such about you?

      If that happens a couple of times, guess what? Even really good friends can find their friendship stretched, if not completely broken. That busybody can plant a little seed of doubt, suspicion or rejection, and can totally poison and divide a relationship just by that kind of whispering – telling lies and spreading deception.

      That’s exactly what the devil is doing to break up the relationship between you and God. That is his strategy, and it is sadly a very effective one.

      Satan Accuses God before Us

      Picture Adam and Eve in the beginning, right after God created them. They are in the Garden of Eden. They have a beautiful relationship with God. In fact, they walk together with Him in the cool of the day, every single day. Imagine such a wonderful and close relationship with the God of the universe.

      Now, God gave them only one rule. He said: "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." (Genesis 2:16)

      Satan comes into the picture. He’s a rebel angel, originally called Lucifer, now called Satan – which means the enemy. His goal is to break up this beautiful relationship.

      Why?

      He’s jealous. This rebel angel is jealous of Adam and Eve’s relationship with God, of their position with God, and of the destiny that God has for them.

      He comes in the form of a serpent, or speaks through a serpent.

      Look at Genesis chapter three, verse one: Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God indeed said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" That is the
