“…He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” John 8:44, NKJV.
Don’t let anybody tell you who you are. And I’m not mostly talking about people. I’m talking specifically about the devil. He is called the accuser of the brethren. The devil will come with thought after thought, in a variety of ways, on your job, in your car, telling you who you are, what you can’t do, what won’t change, and your limits. Your ceiling of life. He will even say, because of the track record of your past, that’s your identity.
Jesus says the devil is a liar and the father of them. Let God be true in every man a liar! Only Christ has defined who you are and who you will become. We’re not perfect, and until we reach heaven, we won’t be. You’re still a new creature in Christ. You’re still more than a conqueror. You’re still growing, and loved while you’re doing it. God will still complete the work He has begun in you!
Say no more.
The devil will never speak of your progress. He is lonely in his hopelessness and in his eternal end. Because of Jesus, you are never without hope. Because of Jesus, you have an expected end! Never without mercy. Never without grace. Never without a good God. He has never, and will never, tell you what you can’t do. You have been blessed with a liberty that condemnation cannot contain. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed! You are free to live. You are robed in Christ and you who God says you are. Jesus has given us victory over all things, whether external struggles or internal ones. God says this will be the last time the enemy is allowed to tell you who you are because you say no more.
Prayer: Father, I give You all the glory, and You alone are worthy of it. I thank You for stirring my soul this morning because I am who You say I am, and I can do what You say I can do. I no longer listen to the devil’s lies. I’m not perfect and still growing. The Son has made me free! I rebuke all manner of depression and anxiety. I agree with my God. I am a mighty, powerful man of God. I am anointed, and I dominate over the enemy. I reign in life. I will walk out the abundant life You have given me. Hallelujah! In Jesus name, amen!
