SEE YOURSELF STRONG

How does the devil see you? Does He see you as a terrifying and mighty warrior of God or does he see you as a wimp he can take on within a minute? The answer to that question depends on you. The reason the Israelites were so terrified to fight the giants in Canaan wasn’t because those giants were so big. It was because the Israelites saw themselves as so small. It was what they were in their own sight that defeated them.

The same is true for you as a believer. It’s what you are in your own sight that will make the difference. If in your own sight, you’re a weak, powerless Christian, the devil will run over you multiple times a day. however, as you begin to see yourself as God sees you, as a conquering son or daughter of the Almighty God equipped with the very power of God Himself, the devil will want to steer clear of you.

The devil would rather do anything than come against someone who’s bold and courageous because he’s a coward himself. As a matter of fact, when Jesus came up out of that grave, Satan’s heart melted within him at the sound of that name in the mouth of one who has faith in it.

Confession: I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might; I am born of God therefore I have the strength to overcome the evil one and all manner of temptations, I walk in the newness of life, I am righteous, hallelujah!

Further Reading: Joshua 1:9 (AMP) “Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Nehemiah 8:10 (AMP) “Then [Ezra] told them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold.”

Read through the Bible: Jeremiah 7 & Matthew 21
