Here’s the thing. This fear, anxiety, shame, depression, rejection, eating disorder, stress, addiction, that you keep claiming is not actually yours. When Jesus died, He took the keys and the authority over this world back from the devil and from hell and He gave it back to us. The problems we face are real, and they freaking suck, but we don’t actually have to claim those problems as ours and be controlled by them. When we say things like MY problems, MY fear, MY addiction, we are giving these things power over us and that it is NOT part of the inheritance the Lord has given us. Jesus already claimed our freedom. Jesus has given us love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. He has given us a sprit of power, love, and a sound mind, and anything that contradicts that is not of the Lord. So tell that fear, that anxiety, that addiction, that *fill in the blank* that you have been owning, and send it straight back to hell where it came from!!! The Lord has SO much more for you!
I’m declaring for myself that FEAR AND ANXIETY CAN GO TO HELL!!! The Lord has set me free! The anxiety that has crippled me for so long is no longer holding me back from speaking what the Lord is telling me to say. The enemy WILL NOT keep me silent!
The thing about the enemy is that if you are pursuing a relationship with God, he will never stop coming after you. BUT GUESS WHAT?! We don’t have to cower down in fear and wait for it to pass. We don’t have to plead for mercy from the devil to stop pounding our spirit into the ground. IN THE NAME OF JESUS the darkness has to flee! The enemy has to cower down to US because of the authority and freedom that Jesus gave us when He was sacrificed and resurrected.
I’ve never heard the voice of God as clearly as I have lately. I’m so overwhelmed with the presence of the Lord. He is breaking me and it literally hurts like hell, but in the best way. I feel like I’m shedding skin, becoming less like me and more like who God has made me to be. I told God in China that I wanted to learn to die to my flesh even if it felt like I was being skinned alive. And BOY have I felt that! I’m going through the fire and trusting the Lord to complete His refinement.
So here is my challenge. Ask yourself when you started believing that anxiety, fear, depression, addiction, rejection, or whatever, is part of who you are? When did you start listening to the lies from the enemy over the voice of the Lord? When will you claim the authority and freedom that Jesus has given you?
IN THE NAME OF JESUS SEND THOSE LIES BACK TO HELL.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS BE FREE.
