I've heard Joyce Meyer say "You can't be pathetic and powerful!" and that phrase came to my mind two days ago when I looked in the mirror and thought "Well you look and feel pretty pathetic at the minute" but the Holy Spirit rose up on the inside of me and reminded me that He's inside me so I can't possibly be pathetic because He's the power that raised Jesus from the dead!
Sometimes we forget that fact in the middle of our daily tootling about, don't we, when 'life' conspires against us and throws us a wobbly. So I took myself to task and declared what God says over me in scripture and it went something like this...
'God says I'm an Overcomer by Christ Jesus. He has already given me the victory and He always leads me in triumph, so I'm not defeated, I am in actual fact a Victor. God says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, that He, the Almighty God, is helping me, strengthening me, and upholding me, so I can't possibly be pathetic. He says I'm powerful in Him. Thank You Lord.'
There is far more to us than we ever realise and it's good to have a bit of a reminder that we are sons and daughters of the Most High God and that He is in us.
He has enabled us to walk in faith and victory, not defeat and depression. He's given us the name above every name, Jesus, to demolish strongholds, He's given us His Holy Spirit to live in us 24/7 - our spirit man is wall to wall Holy Spirit! He's given us His Word which is sharper than any two edged sword to bring down any high and lofty thing. He's given us access to His throne room day and night to receive all the help, mercy and grace we'll ever need.
So next time we look in the mirror and feel a bit pathetic, let's declare who we really are, declare God's truths over ourselves, grab our shields of faith and put those fiery darts out in Jesus Mighty Name. You and I are Overcomers so let's go out and do some powerful overcoming! Amen.😊
