Listen to the last episode:
You know how the enemy constantly tells you you’re not good enough … that you couldn’t possibly have what it takes. That you’re not pretty enough, smart enough, you enough, old enough, or strong enough? And you know how exhausting it is to constantly battle those negative thoughts and try to convince yourself Satan is wrong about you?
Well, today, you’re not going to fight those thoughts and feelings anymore. We’re putting an end to this, and it’s going to be a whole lot easier than you ever imagined. It only takes one truth from God to change everything. So today, I’m showing you a truth in God’s word to change this so you don’t battle those feelings of insecurity.
I know, I know, I know, you’ve tried to overcome this before. And I bet you’ve been discouraged by your continual return to these negative thoughts and feelings about yourself. But this time it’s going to be different. Radically different.
You see, this time, I’m not going to tell you to talk back to the enemy and convince him he’s wrong about you. Actually, he’s right about you. You really aren’t good enough. You really don’t have what it takes. You’re not smart enough or strong enough. You can’t do it and you can’t stick with it. (Geeze, worst Monday morning pep talk ever, right?)
Instead, of trying to fight him again, we’re going to say, “Thank you, enemy, you’re right about me. I appreciate that reminder.”
And here’s why that negative reminder about yourself is such a good thing … it confirms God’s absolute truth about you. The truth is, you are primed for God to work through you! You’ve been hand selected for divine purposes. How do I know? Because really, you’re so extremely average and unimpressive!
God chooses the nobodies!
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1: 26-29, “Consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. Instead, God has chosen what is foolish … he has chosen what is weak … he has chosen what is insignificant, so that none of us can boast.”
So, what is that, Satan, you say I’m a nobody … God chooses the nobodies! You say I’m just a foolish girl with nothing special … God chooses the foolish. You say I am weak … God chooses the weak. You say I am insignificant … God chooses the insignificant!
Every time the enemy reminds you of your insecurities and pokes at your weaknesses, all you have to say is, “You’re right. Thank you for the reminder that I am precisely all the things God chooses!”
God chose Moses to miraculously set his people free and lead them out of Egypt, across the Red Sea, and through the wilderness to their Promised Land. Honey, do you know who Moses was? He was a nobody! He was a baby born to a slave who was supposed to be killed! He wasn’t born in a palace, but God divinely placed him in a palace for eternal purposes. Then, he killed a man and was hiding in the desert in shame, convinced his life was forever ruined by his mistakes. But God would call him out of that desert. Read the story of Moses throughout the book of Exodus. God did all of this through an absolute nobody with nothing.
What is that Satan whispered in your ear this morning when your alarm rang? You’re too weak? You’re too flawed? You’re too far gone? Gosh, thanks for all those fantastic reminders that prove I’m precisely the kind of girl God chooses! I’ve messed up, I’ve failed again … you’re right about that Satan,
