Who are you listening to?

How regularly do you remind yourself of prophetic promises God has spoken?

I did today and was so encouraged especially when I realised that I am actually living in some of the promises right now!

Remembering what God has said reminds us of who we really are.

When God created us, it says in Psalm 139, all our days were ordained for us before any of them came to be. God planned our destiny before we were even born.

I love how even the bad stuff that has happened to us is still part of our redemptive story and his greater purposes. How God’s unwavering steadfast love has remained with us from the very beginning. His steadfast love NEVER ceases

Recently I have had times, often in the night when arrows of discouragement and doubt have come my way and I have had to fight for the truth. The enemy knows where we are vulnerable.

Often I find it happens after I have stepped out and been courageous or God has used me in some way. Peter warns us in 1 Peter 5:8… to be alert and on the look out because the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to destroy.

We know the devil is liar and has been from the very beginning.

He still uses the same ploy that he used when he sowed seeds of doubt in Eve’s mind in the Garden of Eden. Did God really say?

His plan is to get us to doubt his goodness and to believe he is withholding good from us.

But…The Lord is a sun and a shield. He bestows favour and honour and no good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly in him.

Replacing the lies of the enemy, however subtle, with the truth of what God says about us needs to become a choice and a habit.

His steadfast love never ceases and is new every morning.

Why don’t you find promises God has spoken over you and re read them today and declare them out loud?

Reminding ourselves of what God has said in his word or of prophetic promises he has spoken to us encourages and strengthens us and calls out our destiny and identity in Christ and God never lies!
