In my communion time with the Holy Spirit [which I recommend you should make a practice] this morning He spoke to me about us not allowing the negative words of people or even family determine who we believe we are. Throw them off as rags and don’t let them sit on you ever again. Colossians.3:3.

He reminded me that our identity is determined by what God has said we are and no other voice has the authority to change that reality. Just as the Father spoke to Jesus in Luke.3:22 which resulted in the Holy Spirit descending in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

This is God’s plan for us to have our identity from the words He speaks about and over us.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that when He made a Covenant with Abraham ,He pointed out that He would bless those who bless Abraham and He would curse those who curse Abraham.Genesis.12:3 says I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

In other words the Lord was saying that anyone who spoke contrary to what God spoke about Abraham God would deal with and stop. It also indicated that God knew that people would not agree with God’s perspective of Abraham and would have the audacity to voice it. 

The Holy Spirit reminded me that no one can speak and it comes to pass against us when He the Lord had not ordained it. It is our duty He said to only speak what the Lord says about us and reject what is not His will for our life’s.

This the Holy Spirit pointed out to me is what we need to make a habit.Saying who God says we are must be our priority and not allowing the accusing voice of the enemy determine our course.Revelation.12:11.The enemy does speak through people and in particular those we trust when he wants to deceive and move us away from the God ordained path. 

As an example in Matthew.16:23 satan spoke through Peter to stop Jesus going to the cross, however Jesus responded by rebuking the devil using Peter’s voice.

The Holy Spirit cautioned me that we must be aware of the fact that though we resist the voice of satan we are not to vilify the human vessel. He reminded me how Jesus responded to Judas after he kissed Him and betrayed Him. He was decent and cordial.Truly loving. It was satan that entered Judas and Judas went on to perform satan’s will which is to steal, kill and destroy. John.10:10.

So today take hold of this truth and allow the grace in these words to give you the necessary strength to resist the negative words spewed against you. Then empowered by the Holy Spirit  focus on God’s words spoken over your life which have given you a future, a hope and an expected end of glory in your service for Him in Jesus Name. Amen. Jeremiah.29:11.
