The devil plants lies to make you think you've already lost what's yours. He can only steal what you believe is gone. Stay confident in God's protection and reject shame in Jesus's name.
I heard this illustration that was amazing about how the enemy works, right? When you think about you being in the hand of God, who can really hurt you? The answer is nobody. So what the enemy wants to do in the illustration was, if the point of the enemy is to kill, steal, and destroy, let's say that you have a car sitting in the parking lot and somebody comes to you and say that your car has been stolen. At that point, you are sad, you're broken, you're distraught, you're hurt because something that belonged to you supposedly was taken. But what if that wasn't true? And now because you've believed the lie that your car was stolen, Somebody can now walk outside, take your car, and you would never think twice about it because you've already considered it gone. The devil can only take from you what you think you've already lost. Amen. If you are sure that you are secure, the confidence and the faith and the hope that you have in Christ cannot be moved or shaken. So what the enemy wants to do, he wants to trick you in believing a lie. And then once you believe the lie, he has right to make that lie manifest. So the enemy wants to trick you into thinking you should be ashamed of yourself. And the moment that you believe that lie, he can now deliver shame into your life. But we rebuke and we reject it in the name of Jesus.
