Isn't it funny sometimes how the enemy works? He tries to hit you with trouble every little chance he gets- I’ve been hit back to back with so many things that all I could do is laugh and say, “Wow devil, you’re really that intimidated by me!” The answer is YES-he’s intimidated by all of us as children of God! When you’re walking in obedience, the enemy will do everything in his power to stop you. Whether it's from interrupting your peace of mind, attacking your body or even trying to drag your friends and family into it. When these things happen, just tell yourself, “I’m doing a good job, I’m doing something right.” Don’t get frustrated or upset because that’s what the enemy wants. Pray, have faith and believe-that’s what God wants. Scripture says consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds (James 1:2). I know this is one of the hardest things to do but God has already provided the joy you need for these times. The enemy can’t steal your joy unless you ALLOW it. Don’t even try to take matters into your own hands, let God handle it-he can fight all battles. Have the mindset of victory!

Giving up isn't in God's vocabulary, so it shouldn't be in yours. Persistence, power, praise, faith, determination are just a few of the many qualities to get to where you're going. I always have to remind myself to keep going because there may be someone out there who needs to hear my testimony. When you're able to push through and accomplish what God has called you too, then you are able to help the next person. It should be everyone's goal to strive for better. You should want to be the best version of yourself through Christ. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, we have no room to be defeated! 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)

Recognize who you are and always pick yourself up because with God you will never lose. God doesn't create failures, you were born to succeed. No matter how it may look or seem, God knows all. He placed something on the inside of all us that will impact the world and its up to you to bring that out-God will help you win. Don't let the enemy steal your crown. Remember it's God that gets the glory, you've already won!

When you wear the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:11-17), you are guaranteed to always win. So just know, no matter how many blows get sent your way, you are a WINNER.
