“And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?…”
Genesis 3:11
I thank God for this particular word because I endured some of my most vulnerable times under the enemy’s deceit.
The very first sin, the separation of man and God, came about when Eve believed the word of another above God’s own word. And it’s amazing to me, how thousands of years later, this very same misguidance and misjudgment, continue to separate God’s children from God.
If you are like me, you are familiar with the word of God through the bible or God’s chosen messengers all over the world. Even if you do not know exactly what God says, you know what He does not say.
It was so amazing to me when this word came to my Spirit.
So I’ll begin by asking you these questions.
Who told you that you were naked? Who told you that you were ugly? Who told you that you were not good enough? Who told you that you are unworthy? Who told you that you are Fatherless? Who told you that you were a loser? Who told you that you cannot make it? Who told you that you will not survive? Who told you that you will not achieve? Who told you that you will not succeed? Who told you that you are not forgiven? Who told you that you are alone? Who told you that you have no future? Who told you that you are less? Who told you that you are last? Who told you that you are damaged goods? Who told you that you are finished? Who told you that you had no purpose? Who told you that you are not wanted? Who told you that you are weak? Who told you that you are poor? Who told you that there is no more to life? Who told you that little was your portion? Who told you that you are a victim? Who told you that you were beneath Who told you?!
I see so many of us, acting on the notions of what someone or something told us, but not on what God says. So many of us, stagnant and complacent, worried and uncertain, hesitant and afraid, depressed and miserable, hurt and confused, dejected and abused, all because of what someone or some people told us.
Like Eve did, we believe in the deceitful voice of the enemy. We are beguiled by words that go against what our heavenly Father says.
Friend, let me remind you that God says, “You shall not labour in vain.”
God says, “I will make thee a great nation.”
God says, “you have right to the tree of life.”
God says, “you shall receive the crown of life.”
God is “your strength and power, your rock, your fortress, your deliverer, your shield, your refuge, your redeemer, your buckler, your defender, a present help in trouble, your high tower, and the horn of your salvation.”
God says, “wealth and riches will be in your house.”
God says, “your cup shall run over.”
God says, “He is with you.”
So, who told you what God didn’t?
