We are to be fearless and successful in the perilous times ahead!
We must develop a complete trust in The Word of GOD both spoken and written. Each of us has a destiny FATHER wants us to fulfill. The adversary opposes anything that would benefit us as we pursue our calling. You have a unique calling that no one else has. You are integral to establishing the Kingdom of GOD on the earth. Your decisions will either help or hinder you in your God-given destiny.
There are two areas that will keep you from fulfilling your destiny. They are two demon spirits: insecurity and inferiority. Both of these spirits promote fear, uncertainty, and doubt. The strategy of the enemy uses these two spirits to derail your destiny.
The serpent deceived Eve:
Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 3:
1 Now the snake was the most cunning of all living beings that YAHWEH-God had made. He deviously asked the woman, “Did God really tell you, ‘You must not eat fruit from any tree of the garden—?’ ”
2 But the woman interrupted, “—We may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden,
3 except the tree in the center of the garden. God told us, ‘Don’t eat its fruit, or even touch it, or you’ll die.’ ”
4 But the snake said to her, “You certainly won’t die.
5 God knows that the moment you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the tree produced delicious fruit, delightful to look upon, and desirable to give one insight, she took its fruit and ate it. She gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he also ate it.
7 Immediately, their eyes were opened, and they realized they were naked, vulnerable, and ashamed; so they sewed fig leaves together for coverings. (TPT)
The serpent attacked Eve with these two things:
First, “GOD is lying to you, you will not die. What HE told you is not true.” Everything Eve knew was based on The Word of GOD. Her security was in the Truthfulness of GOD. When she questioned the Truthfulness of the Word of GOD, the serpent released the first of these two spirits, the spirit of insecurity. She now doesn’t know what to believe resulting in her becoming insecure.
Second. Then he comes to her and says, “GOD knows that you’ll be like HIM, knowing good and evil.” GOD had already said that HE created HIM in Their Own Image. They were already like HIM. The serpent said, “You are not really who you think you are.” He released on her inferiority which is the sense of feeling lower in position or stature.
Once Eve felt insecure, once she felt inferior, she needed something to get a hold of to get a sense of security back and a sense of value back, so he offered her the fruit. This is the same strategy that is binding people up and keeping strongholds coming back into their lives and from fulfilling their destiny.
People are searching for becoming more valuable and more secure. Insecurity promotes fear. Inferiority hinders the revelation of Love, faith, and hope in the person’s life. An inferior thinking person does not understand who they are in Christ.
What happens when you feel inferior? Due to peer pressure, you attempt to change your looks, to make yourself feel more valuable in order to fit in. What is the purpose of a tattoo, a piercing, or different colors of hair? FATHER made no mistakes when HE formed you in the womb.
What is peer pressure? It is a feeling that one must do the same things as other people of one’s age and social group in order to be liked or respected by them. At the underlying root of this are the two demonic influences of insecurity and inferiority.
Once the adversary’s deceptions are identified and dealt with, we will be not only fearless, but we will also be successful in fulfilling our destiny.
