No matter what I’m going through, my God is with me! I will look to him for deliverance from all earthly trials and storms! Because of my position in Christ and the Keys I carry; I can speak to the enemy and tell him to go! I’m not a victim, I’m a victor in Christ!
I refuse to wallow in sorrow, fear, or anxiety! I don’t need to self-medicate with sin or substances no matter what I’m walking through! I can speak to temptation, sin, depression, oppression, fear, and anxiety and tell them to go!
I choose to walk in peace and contentment, and to rejoice in the Lord always! No matter what happens to me or my loved ones on this earth our hope is in the promise of life after death! I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives me His strength!
