This month will be one to remember. Month 6…the month I fell into temptation. The funny or not so funny thing is that I have been here before, fighting with “the line”. It seems to be a theme in my life. I have been deceived over and over again to believe that it is “fun” … that is until I “fall”. (I will spare the details on a public platform, but if you’d like to reach out to me privately I’d love to hear your heart and talk with you about it. I have nothing to hide.) I feel this story is important to tell because it is MY STORY, and I need/want to warn you about something very serious, so hopefully you can recognized where you are being deceived avoid “falling” too.
So, there is this guy…and in this story called life, his name is Satan. I don’t know exactly what you believe, but I am here to tell you that Satan is no joke, REALLY. I say all this not to scare you, but to inform you. A lot of people don’t talk about him, even a majority of Christians don’t. However, I think it is important to talk about him. He doesn’t need to be our main focus, no that needs to be Jesus (cause of course there is power in the name of Jesus!). This Enemy likes us to keep things hidden and in the dark. He wants us to deal with our problems on our own. He wants us to FEEL ALONE. When we bring things into the light, the darkness cannot keep its hold on us or use what we are hiding as ammunition against us.
Pretty much my whole life, this enemy has lied to me. He has whispered into my ear: “you will never be good enough, secure enough, beautiful enough, or Christian enough.” The sad part, is I have believed it. AND still struggling with believing these lies.
I am choosing to battle against the enemy. This practice has to happen daily for it to be effective. I am not alone in the battle. Thank the Lord! I have the greatest weapon, the Word of God, at my disposal. In the Word it says: “But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.” – 2 Thessalonians 3:3
That is what I am clinging too. I know that in the name of Jesus, Satan can’t win my heart because God will protect me and fight for me. I am a child of God and I am going to speak truth over myself:
I am good enough!
I am secure enough!
I am beautiful enough!
I am “Christian” enough!
Can I get an AMEN?!!
