I don’t like brats and bullies. Never have…
Got up today feeling the depressing, weakening emotions of the migraine I had Sunday. The enemy’s lies were flying all around me. “You’re a victim, you’re a victim, you’re a victim…”
I had enough. I got out my Oregon list of verses and began saying them out loud. Soon, The Truth of God’s Word began to change my mind and emotions and I became strong in the power of His might.
The devil wants us feeble-minded. He wants us spiritually weak in our minds.
The devil will do all he can to keep you a victim in life, to keep you reacting to all of life from a victim mentality and stance. I know this firsthand. On the other hand, Jesus died to make us victorious over all of life. Lies keep us victims. Jesus, Who is The Truth, sets us free to be victors.
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Hebrews 12:1-3
Fear thou not; for I (God) am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (The Truth).
Isaiah 41:10
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
