Believing the Lies

At times I tend to isolate myself and begin to believe the lies that the enemy so badly wants to use. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. God has been very specific to me this past week.

What is God saying to you?

Here are the things that He has been telling me:

• Iam God and I am able


• God is waiting for me to come to Him


• His glory is so bright there is no need for the sun or the moon


• He can do anything through me


• I should not worry about pleasing man, but only please Him


• I have given you specifics on what to do, don't be afraid to do it


• It is not you doing my work, it is me doing it through you


• You do not have to be perfect


• You are capable of great things with me


• I will make you strong


• Enjoy my calling, don't be afraid of your weaknesses - that's where I {God} am made great


• You are capable of leading others


• You speak truth over others


• Your insight is from Me {God}


• You have gifts and talents that you are not using for me {God}


• I have bigger plans than you than you know or can imagine


• You have a gift to minister to women


• TRUST ME


• LOVE ME WITH ALL YOU HAVE


• LET me enough

Wow! I had been feeling very much like a failure lately, I have been allowing the lies from the enemy attack me. I felt unvalued, unwanted, unliked and overwhelmed with minor chores, let alone any calling I felt on me from the Mighty One. However, in the name of Jesus Christ I reclaimed that which the enemy is trying to take away. He wants to steal my self confidence in Christ, he wants to steal my faith in Him, he wants to kill my ability to move forward, and he wants to destroy the value I place on myself through Christ.

God has blessed me this week with supreme kinds words from others. I had the opportunity yesterday to participate in an exhortation during a class I was taking at my church. I so enjoy speaking God's truth over another person and just sensing and envisioning the evil one melting away and having to flee in the face of God's truth.

Many years ago I had asked God to reveal to me the reason Christ died for each person that I came in contact with. My desire was to love others as Christ loves them. God was gracious enough to fill me with that gift and lately I haven't been speaking those truths over those I meet. After yesterdays experience I know I need to live in that way - a way in which I share God's glory and the uniqueness of others with them.

My challenge to you is to speak words of affirmation over those you know and meet. Speak God's positive truth - build up - use your power tongue, you never know when the enemy is attacking someone in that way. Speak love and encouragement overing someone might reveal God's truth in their life.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength!

In Christ,
