Hello friends, and Happy Monday to you! It's officially Summer, and I hope that you're enjoying yours! Things are well here, and Summer is in full swing with Bible study, swimming lessons, sleepovers, baseball games, reading, relaxing, and movie watching. Oh, and I almost forget, I joined the gym two weeks ago! I've been watching calories, eating healthier, and exercising more than I ever have. It feels great to be making healthy choices!
Anyway, let's get back to Music Monday. I don't know where you're at right now, but if you're like me, perhaps the enemy has been whispering (or shouting) lies into your ears. As a matter of fact, just this morning I found myself actually believing those lies. I was beginning to feel like my old self again, and I asked myself, "Who am I?" Well, I'm certainly not the lies that I was listening to, and I wasn't about to listen to it for one more minute. That's when I stopped dead in my tracks, and said out loud . . . NO, I'm not listening to this anymore! I am a child of God!
The words of Matthew West's song popped into my head, and it felt amazing to get the devil off of my back! He was weighing me down, and I have no time for that, because I am . . .
SAVED. CHANGED. SET FREE. A CHILD OF THE ONE TRUE KING. Can I get an amen? No more living in defeat. We have victory through His perfect sacrifice and His amazing grace. Remember His word, and speak it out loud to the enemy.
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 NKJV
I pray that this song would speak mightily into your heart if you're living in a place of defeat and believing the lies. If you'd like a list of verses that tells each and every one of us who we are in Christ, I've found a great list on Joyce Meyer's website. Be sure to click here for this fantastic resource.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 NKJV
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SONG!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome, isn't it? Thanks for stopping by Casey. :)
ReplyDeleteAMEN!!!! I have been repeating that a LOT lately "I am a child of GOD!!!" and it's great to get that encouragement here today. Gets me all fired up:) And great song, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI love this song! The first time I heard it, I remember thinking, "this is the story of my life!" I'm thankful for talented people like Matthew who can put into music what some of the rest of us only feel (or maybe don't even know we feel that way until we hear the song and go, "Yes! Someone understands!").
