It starts with a thought. In a moment we believe that we aren’t good enough; that we are not capable of being loved or seeing victory in that situation. We start to believe in the lies that everything is pointless and why should we even try because no one wants to hear what we have to say.
It’s the quiet moments, the idle times when we feel most attacked, or even in a crowd among people you know. The enemy is a sly one. He likes to whisper and place lies and thoughts in your head that seem like they came from you and that their the truth, but they aren’t.
Once you meditate and let that thought or lie stir.. you start to internalize it and take itto heart. Unfortunately I am a pro at this, and I don’t want to be. I easily let the devil worm his way into my mind and affect my mood, thoughts and self worth and I’m tired of it. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. This past week after injuring my foot and having time to sit and think I was bombarded with awful thoughts and felt like I was getting attacked from the enemy in every area in my life. I finally came to this point where I realized I need to fight this, I can’t just sit and let the enemy take over my mind… and so I prayed.
I spoke Gods truth and peace into my life and decided again that enough was enough and I am not going to let the enemy win any longer, because God already won on the cross! He has the victory and I need to claim and pray that promise over my life. When I am in the valley or on the mountain top, He is still Lord over all and has the power transform hearts and minds!
Now you see, I used to believe in the lies that I am:
Worthless
Weak
Untalented
Broken
Alone
Unloved
A Failure
Ugly
Etc…
But now I am believing in the truth and what God says I am!
- I am STRONG – Ephesians 6:10
- I am HEALED – Isaiah 53
- I am BEAUTIFUL – Psalm 139:14
- I am made with a PURPOSE – Ephesians 2:10
- I am LOVED – Romans 8:35-39
- I am not alone, because God is ALWAYS with me – Psalm 73:23
- I am WORTHY of God’s love and I don’t need to try and please Him in order for Him to love me – Romans 8:16-17
- I am God’s vessel, therefore, He will use my weaknesses and turn them into strengths to point people to Himself – 2 Timothy 2:19-21
I hope that this blog post encourages someone today. I pray that whoever is reading this post, that they truly know and believe who they are in Christ, and not what the enemy says they are.
You are loved,
Hannah
