“The enemy wants you to suffer from a case of mistaken identity. Makes his job a whole lot easier. And makes your defenses a lot weaker. He’s working overtime to mask your identity in Christ, to keep the truth from coming out–that you are indeed alive and free and empowered by God’s own Spirit to fight victoriously against him.
He’d rather conspire to keep you in a constant state of mourning, grieving over who you wish you were, instead of relishing who you really are. He prefers you insecure and crippled by self-doubt. Lifeless. Comatose.
But his reign of terror is over in our lives. Because now we know the truth. God has ‘made us alive together with Christ’ and has ‘raised us up with Him and sealed us with Him in heavenly places’ (Ephesians 2:5-6). We will put our helmets on and stand firm against the attacks of the enemy.” ~Priscilla Shirer

LORD, I repent of the lies I have believed about myself, and given to me by the enemy to stifle me in despair. Help me break the chains of servitude to the devil so that I may be truly free in You. ~Amen
