Everyday, I hear Satan’s taunting voice telling me to do things I don’t want to do. He thinks he has a hold on my life, but he’s wrong; because, little does he know, I also have the One who is good whispering in my other ear. Sometimes, the things Satan tells me sound good, but I know that they would never last. However, the things the Good one, God, whispers to me are long-lasting promises and fill me with hope and faith.
In this time of maturity, Satan’s grip on me is finally loosening and he doesn’t like that. Every chance he gets, he doesn’t miss the opportunity to try to catch me in his snares. No matter how many times I divert his attacks, he always finds another way in. But, that ends now!
It’s been eighteen years, and I have endured many attacks from Satan, who has been trying to get his hands on me since birth. At first, I didn’t understand who was at the root of these taunts and whispers; but now that I do, I’m not going to stop until I shove them completely out of my head.
There will be times on this journey where I’ll fall, but I will always get back up. No matter how painful his blows are, I find strength in God. Every time the enemy tries to harm or destroy me, God is always there to help me up or whisper sweet truths in my ear. It doesn’t matter how many times Satan tries to destroy me, I will never stop listening and believing in the true God, for He is my strength and fortress.
Now is the time for me to stand up, taller than I ever have, and shout out these words to my enemy, “YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BREAK ME! YOU WILL NOT SHATTER ME! YOU HAVE NO HOLD ON ME! ONLY ONE WILL WIN THIS BATTLE, AND IT’S NOT GOING TO BE YOU! SO, GET OUT OF MY WAY, AND STAY AWAY! YOU’VE MESSED WITH THE WRONG GIRL!”
I am strong, I am powerful, and I am invincible because the Commander in my life has never lost a battle! He is the Almighty, the Great I Am! He gives me the ability to get up everyday and have an unbreakable smile on my face, no matter how many stones are thrown at me.
I cannot thank the Good One enough for all the protecting He has done over my life, ever since I took those first breaths eighteen years ago. He’s the best bodyguard anyone could ever have and because of that, I don’t want to let Him down.
As I go into this new life of independency, I need to count on Him more than ever before. I need to know His voice like the back of my hand. I also need to realize that just because I’m independent, doesn’t mean I’m no longer dependent on Him. Without Him, surviving in this big world alone would be impossible. I have faith that He has my paths laid out and is just watching me step closer and closer to Him.
