This is a word God gave me in prayer for someone today that I wanted to share because I believe it applies to so many. (It’s something He has had to free me from too, as I used to suffer from anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc.)
❌Stop claiming these demons by default! ⤵️
{and make no mistake, that is what they are!}
❌Stop saying “my anxiety; my depression; my demons; etc.” — {Yes, I know some Christians who even literally do say “I’m struggling with my demons.” No! You do not own demons! If you have received Jesus info your life, then this is not your inheritance! You have received freedom! For freedom he has set you free so don’t submit to those chains. Don’t accept them! We all do battle with demons but we do not take them into us as residential guests. Don’t accept over yourself what He has given you the power to reject! Reject these things and accept what He has given you— peace, love, joy and a sound mind! ❤️❤️❤️
❌Stop taking them as part of your identity!
➡️Here is your identity, faith friends. Here’s what God says about you! Read it aloud and own THAT. You are His and He is yours!
“But now…
listen to the Lord who created you.
…the one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. ❤️
I have called you by name; ❤️
you are mine. ❤️
When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you. ❤️
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown. 🛶
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you. 💔🔥❤️
For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…
Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
I will gather you and your children from east and west.
I will say to the north and south, ‘Bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the distant corners of the earth.
Bring all who claim me as their God,
for I have made them for my glory.
It was I who created them.’
Bring out the people who have eyes but are blind, who have ears but are deaf.
Gather the nations together!
Assemble the peoples of the world!
Which of their idols has ever foretold such things? Which can predict what will happen tomorrow? Where are the witnesses of such predictions?
Who can verify that they spoke the truth?
But you are my witnesses! says the Lord.
You are my servant.
You have been chosen to know me,
believe in me,
and understand that I alone am God.
There is no other God— there never has been,
and there never will be.
I, yes I, am the Lord, and there is no other Savior.
First I predicted your rescue,
then I saved you and proclaimed it to the world.
No foreign god has ever done this.
You are witnesses that I am the only God,
says the Lord.
From eternity to eternity I am God.
No one can snatch anyone out of my hand.
No one can undo what I have done.”
{from Isaiah 43:1-13 NLT}
