WHO TOLD YOU THAT

Genesis 3:11 “Who told you that you were naked?…

Who told you that? Say it with attitude - WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

This is something we need to continually ask ourselves. We have believed lies that the devil told us as though it was something that was true. Who told you that you can’t take anymore? Who told you to worry? Who told you that your child will not serve Jesus? Who told you that? As women, we hear demeaning thoughts all of the time. You are not the lone ranger here. The enemy wants us to think that we are stupid, ugly, worthless…the list could go on and on. My husband had a grandma that was not a nice lady. He grew to pretty much despise her as she did things over and over and over. So I have been told in my mind that I am just like Grandma ________. My husband and kids would be better off without me. (Have you heard that last line spoken to you?)

As I have grown in the Lord, I know that many have “heard” such things. But we choose to ask, “Who told me that?” Surely not God. Not even my family. It is a lie! A bold-faced lie! And the devil wants me to believe it and act on it. On the positive side; If God said it in His Word, we need to boldly proclaim, “God, YOU told me that!” YOU told me that you loved me! YOU told me that the seed of the righteous is blessed! YOU told me that everything I put my hand to would prosper. I don’t see it. I don’t feel it!

But the Word of God says it, so I’m going to believe that it is true. God has said that you are the head and not the tail. God has said that He has made us more than conquerors. God has said that we are His children and He made us equal heirs with Jesus! (I am preaching to myself and it is

making me happy!)

Wow! You have some powerful gifts inside of you put there by the Holy Spirit! Many will be blessed by the fruit that only you can produce. But… Are you choosing to believe the Bible? How about when you don’t “feel” it? You know that it is still true, don’t you?

Ask yourself, “Who told me that?” Only listen to God! Not any person or the enemy. Only listen to God!
