When the enemy tries to attack using my weakest points, pointing them out to me, reminding me that I am incapable of reaching what I want to be, or become...I often find myself LISTENING. The reason I react to what the enemy says, it's because it is the truth! Satan uses it to manipulate me into first thinking wrong, then doing wrong, then progress into living in sin, where he, ultimately, used my own imperfections so that I may be deceived, and he wins the battle.
There is a bigger truth, the weapon Against his attack. Today, I am thankful that God showed me the process.
In 2Kings 18:13-19:37
King of Assyria, Sennacherib, threatens the King of Judah, Hezekiah "what are you trusting in that makes you so confident?...perhaps you will say to me 'we are trusting in the Lord our God!' But isnt He the one who was insulted by Hezekiah?...Have the gods of any other nations ever saved their people from the king of Assyria?"
and King Hezekiah listened, (like I was trapped into listening...)The Assyrian King was correct in saying that he is stronger, and that King Hezekiah's troops cannot defeat his own...
this brought upon fear for Hezekiah and he sends a message for help to Prophet Isiah.
And the Lord Answers to Hezekiah, to me, to you:
"DO NOT BE DISTURBED by this blasphemous speech against me..."
then God speaks against the King of Assyria "...Whom have you been defying and ridiculing? Against Whom did you raise your voice? ...You have said...I have conquered many mountains...But have you not heard? I DECIDED THIS LONG AGO. LONG AGO I PLANNED IT...."
When we are in God's embrace, no truth can be used against us...Because nothing and no one can conquer, or even weaken the protection we are embraced in.
