Fight the Fight, Stay Standing!

We have an enemy, no doubt about it. And what that enemy wants to do is to steal the calling on our lives - he wants us to question our identity - who we really are. This is not new... he did it to Eve in the Garden... questioning "did God say?"... and again with Jesus after his wilderness experience..."IF ... you are the Son of God..."

(YES!! This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!! - this is God's word to me today... I am His, and He is well pleased in me! WOW)

The enemy of our soul's tactics hasn't changed -
he questions our calling (has God called you? are you anointed? did God say... and on and on);
he questions our identity (IF you are loved by God, then why did such and such happen, why are you sick/poor/.... fill in the gap)
he gets those closest to us to join in...
Because he knows, as a man thinks in his heart so he is... if he can get me to believe the lies, the accusations, that is who I become... the lie is lived out as truth in my life.

What you and I need to realise is that this enemy of ours' only weapon left - after Jesus defeated him at Calvary - is deception and lies and accusation. The name satan - in hebrew - means "the accuser" - that is who he is, and what he does. Accusation is used against us to cause us to doubt who we are and what we are called to do -
"you haven't read your bible today!;
you haven't prayed enough today;
you didn't visit such-and-so today;
look at your failures -surely you are mistaken thinking that God has called you to do that"
and on and on it goes.

We need to get aggressive - we are VICTORS and not victims!! We are MORE THAN OVERCOMERS through Christ! We are called to Stand and STAY Standing!! NOT lie down. NOT cringe back in fear. NOT hide. But Stand and face the enemy head on - clothed in the Godly armour that has been provided for us. Stand and Say: "enough is enough". I will NOT back down. I will NOT believe the lie. Stand in humility and agree that who GOD says I am, I am...Stand in humility and agree that what God says about me, is so: NO weapon formed against me shall prosper and every tongue risen up against me (in accusation) I condemn!

I am a child of the living God.
I have the Spirit of my Father in me.
I am born from the tribe of the Lion of Judah.
I have the Spirit of the Lion in me - I am not born from the tribe of Mickey Mouse, and I don't have the spirit of a mouse in me.

I know who I am. I am Loved. I am Precious. I am valuable. I am forgiven. I am righteous. My God has called me and anointed me to show forth HIS praises in this earth. I am salt and I am light. I have a spirit of Love, Power and a Sound Mind.
I know who I am. Let the Lion in me Roar!

I am Yours, Father.
Help me never to forget...
