I had a
stressful week and have been battling with its physical symptoms as a result.
This morning, I prayed to God:
"Lord, I know the enemy is taking advantage of this situation. He is trying to keep me from doing the things you've told me to
do."
Then I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit answer me with this:
"He has no power to do that. You take authority over the enemy."
The Spirit brought James 4:7 to mind:
"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
However, this
world's default is the opposite. Their attitude is: Submit to the devil and resist God.
They do not know that faulty programming is designed to make a person self-destruct!
Unfortunately, some Believers still
operate according to their old self-destructive programming.
I used to be like that.
When I was obese, I used high-fat, high sugar foods to numb myself to the pain of negative thoughts and toxic emotions.
I was running scared from my own life, running away from pain from the past and the uncertainty in the present.
But in doing that, I was sacrificing the glorious future God had for me!
In my case, my body at that time was the “body that fear built."
I needed to learn and live 2 truths from God's word that empowered me to write a new story for my health and my life.
