This morning, 10/30/19, I received an evil report. It completely caught me off guard, like any evil report. I did not know what to do. I was anxious, upset, and on the verge of tears.  I know the tactics of enemy. I have learned his ways and they are nothing new. I was taught at the Healing Center that symptoms are lies from the enemy that cause us to do things out of desperation. So what did I do? I had an honest discussion with God based on what I know. He is my healer. He is my provider. He performs miracles and I needed one. The same Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead lives within me and God would never put something on me that

1. He had not equipped me for.

2. Would not ultimately strengthen my relationship with Him.

3. That I could not praise Him for, because I know He is a good, good Father.

Now, I will not say that I did not feel saddened and disheartened, because that would be a lie. I did not want my reactions to control me and lessen what God would do for me. Trust me…it was not easy. In my mind, doubt was trying to creep in. But, as believers in Christ, we are to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. Fear and anxiety were trying to take over but I took a moment and said, “But God!” I have learned to silence the voice of the enemy by renewing my mind with the Word of God and speaking life.
