    The Identity Thief - Victory Over Satan's Strategies

    Let me know what you think! You can have victory over Satan's strategies. Today, I share three tips to help you recognize the traps your enemy – the devil sets to trip you up.  Tip #1 Choose to Live By Faith Our Christian walk is lived by faith in God’s Word and according to what He says is true. The biblical response to truth is faith. We cannot rely on whether or not we feel it’s true. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Gal. 5:1   If you are new to the podcast, you may have missed my Prayer Against Deception – I wrote this prayer from James 4:6-7. Let’s pray together: Dear Lord, Please show me any area where I am being deceived. I declare James 4:6,7 “Submit yourselves, then to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” I choose to yield myself to you, Heavenly Father. Because I choose to resist the devil (say no), I believe he will run away (leave me alone). God, I want to be close to you. I believe, you will come near to me and give me peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen    Tip #2 Learn to Recognize the Enemy’s Lies Emotions lie – if we feel overwhelming guilt, shame, or blame, we can immediately say – OKAY I GET IT -  that these feelings are lies from the enemy. God gives us the Holy Spirit as our helper. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin or compromise but will never, never condemn us. Romans 8:1, 2 says “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death.” Isn’t that freeing? Yes, we don’t have to be “good enough.” We can’t do it. Jesus Christ took on our blame and shame, died a horrible death to satisfy God’s requirement. If you feel shame and blame and unworthiness – those are feelings and can’t be trusted.  Tip #3 Every Spiritual Battle is Won or Lost at the Threshold of the Mind.    Reminding ourselves that the battle in our mind and actually takes place in heavenly realms is crucial to overcoming the enemy.  “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12)  Saying “no” to the flesh and “yes” to the spirit is an hour-by-hour and often minute-by-minute decision. If we make it a priority to keep the truth in the forefront of our minds, sin will have no power over us anymore. We behave according to what we believe. A description of our current spiritual position is found in Ephesians 2:6-7, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” We are seated with Jesus far above Satan and all demonic powers. Not just slightly above, but far above.  Today’s unshakable truth: In Christ, you have Victory over Satan, the Identity Thief, with Christ’s power, You Have Victory Over Satan’s Strategies. Speak the truth of 1 John 5:18, “I am born of God, and the evil one cannot touch me.” I challenge you to use the three tips : Tip #1: Choose to Live By Faith “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Gal. 5:1     Tip #2: Learn to Recognize the Enemy’s Lies  “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1, 2  Tip #3: Every Spiritual Battle is Won or Lost at the Threshold of the Mind.   “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12 Friend, you don’t have to wrestle with the enemy — Jesus already won the victory through His resurrection at the empty tomb. Take a moment right now to pause and pray: “Lord, thank You for enabling me to stand firm, resting in your grace, enjoying the blessing of being “raised above” my struggles. I choose to praise you for the victory You have already won! In Jesus’ name, Amen” Thank you for joining me, I am excited to be part of your journey.

    I've Been Ripped Off - Understanding Satan - The Identity Thief

    Let me know what you think! You don't have to be ripped off any longer. Today I share three tips to help you recognize your enemy – the devil. I will provide tools for loss prevention. Today we’re going to learn how to recognize – satan - the identity thief. Tip #1 – Know Your Enemy  The identity thief has a name and it is satan, the devil, your enemy. He is a sneaky, active adversary who sets up clever ways to steal, kill, and destroy you. This fact is found in John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”  Tip #2 Ensure Loss Prevention When you accepted Jesus as your personal savior, you became a brand-new creation. Everything changed. It may not seem or feel like it, but it has. I love this version of 2 Cor. 5:17 (from the NLT) it says “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” Sometimes we don’t feel new. To ensure loss prevention, in other words, reclaim the territory the enemy has taken over, it helps to see what his plan is. Tip #3 Get Your Stuff Back You want to stand firm in your identity in Christ. “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself u against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Cor. 10:5   Col. 1:13 says, “For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his dear son and enter into eternal life.” Phil 3:13-14 says, “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” I challenge you to use the three tips to prevent identity theft, that is IDENTITY – IN CHRIST – THEFT today: Tip #1 – Know Your Enemy  The identity thief has a name and it is satan, the devil, your enemy. He is a sneaky, active adversary. Described in John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”   Tip #2 Ensure Loss Prevention When you accepted Jesus as your personal savior, you became a brand new creation.  2 Cor. 5:17 says “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”   Tip #3 Get Your Stuff Back You want to stand firm in your identity in Christ. Because of our position in Christ, we can claim Eph. 1:19-21 “I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him.” There are no magic words nor is there power in declaring, but the spiritual strength comes through believing what God has said is true. Friend, you don’t have to put up with being ripped off any longer — you can fight back and get your stuff back as you stand firm in Phil. 3:14, “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”  If today’s message spoke to your heart, take a moment right now to pause and pray: “Lord, I choose to keep my mind set on God’s truth, to take every thought captive and make it please you.” Thank you for joining me, I am excited to be part of your journey.

    Who Am I? What is Identity In Christ?

    Let me know what you think! "Do you wonder -- am I really a new creation? Have you thought “I don’t feel much different, maybe nothing has changed. What does God think?” For years I wondered…“How can God forgive me of my past mistakes?” 2 Corinthians 10:4, “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of this world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”  This truth restored my mind to the place God already set me up, already positioned me. He didn’t see my shame; he saw my worth. When Adam and Eve sinned by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they lost acceptance, security, and significance. against God. Jesus Christ is the only one who can restore our relationship to God. And in that relationship, he has restored our acceptance, security, and significance. In Christ, you are loved. Your identity is a child of God. You can resist sin by remembering that God has the best for His children. He offers you more than the world ever could. You are complete in His love. I challenge you to use the three ways to enable you to see yourself as God sees you – loved and righteous. 1. God’s “love (that) covers a multitude of sins,” (I Pet. 4:8).  2. The old me is gone, the new me lives. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)  3. In Christ your new identity is found in the finished work of Jesus Christ. “You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household.” Ephesians 2:19 “Lord, thank You for giving me a new identity in Christ. Help me rely on my position in Christ. That in Christ, I am accepted, in Christ, I am secure, in Christ, I am significant. “ Thank you for joining me, I am excited to be part of your journey.

    I Am Bitter - Part 3 - Learning to Forgive: Fully Healing the Heart

    Let me know what you think!  Do you say, If I forgive, I am saying it didn’t matter. Or my anger is justified, so I can hold onto it. Do you replay the hurt in your mind over and over? Today, I will share three steps about how God can help you learn to forgive. Step 1: What forgiveness is. God commands us to forgive, “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Col. 3:13 Then why is it so hard to do?         Choosing to forgive is to trust God with the outcome.  Forgiveness is a choice; it’s a decision, a crisis of the will. Jesus reminds us to “Be merciful, just as your Heavenly Father is merciful.” (Luke 6:36 NIV)  Step 2: What forgiveness is not. Forgiveness is not excusing harm. Forgiveness is not forgetting instantly. Forgiveness is not trusting immediately. “We must forgive, so that no advantage is taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.” (2 Corinthians 2:10, 11 NIV) Not forgiving those who have wronged us gives Satan more ammunition to war against us.  Step 3: Learn to forgive.  Jesus’s crucifixion wounds belonged to us; He was punished in our place to satisfy God’s requirement. His sacrifice provided for our righteousness. “Christ had no sin, but God made him become sin so that in Christ we could become right with God” (2 Corinthians 5:21 NCV).  “God forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases” Psalm 107:3  “God, the Father made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 Forgiveness is not forgetting.  “God remembers our sins no more.”  Psalms 103:12  “Love…keeps no record of wrongs.”   I Corinthians 13:5  I forgive someone who doesn’t deserve it? “Lord, I will forgive (the person’s name) for making me feel __________. Lord Jesus I choose not to hold onto my resentment. Bless them.” Step 1: What forgiveness is. God commands us to forgive, “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Col. 3:13  Step 2: What forgiveness is not. Forgiveness is not excusing harm. “We must forgive, so that no advantage is taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.” (2 Corinthians 2:10, 11 NIV) Step 3: Learn to forgive: Forgiveness is not a feeling—it is a release. “Christ had no sin, but God made him become sin so that in Christ we could become right with God” (2 Corinthians 5:21 NCV) “Lord, thank You for forgiving me of my sins. God, I choose healing over holding” Thank you for joining me, I am excited to be part of your journey. Please share this episode and hit subscribe so you don't miss any new episodes.

    I Am Bitter - Part 2 - When Anger Takes Over The Heart

    Let me know what you think! Do you say, My anger is justified, so I can hold onto it. Are you holding onto something that hurt you deeply?  Do you replay it in your mind over and over? Today, I will share three tips about how God can set you free from anger. Today we will define what anger is and I will share three steps about how God you can be free from anger. Tip 1: What anger does. I can relate to your feelings of anger and resentment. Bitterness turns into anger –at first, anger feels like control. Bur in reality, anger increases emotional exhaustion. God explains in His word, “Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.” James 1:20   Tip #2: Anger is a signal – not a solution. Anger, like bitterness, feels like protection…but it becomes a prison. The Bible says, “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.” Eph. 4:26 Anger is a signal, not a solution. Tip #3: Bring your anger to God.  Confess to God – yes. It takes honesty.  1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”  Repent to God – returning to God and confessing your sin, is admitting to God, Yes “I did it.” The act of repentance is the choice we can make to turn away from our sin. You can say, “Lord, I repent of my sin.” Repentance means a change of heart. We find in Psalm 51:10, a sample prayer. “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”  Bring your angry heart, your hurting heart, honestly to God. This is not suppression – this is surrender.  Today’s unshakable truth: In Christ, you can be free from anger. I told God, “I give You my reaction before it becomes regret.”  I challenge you to use the three tips to invite God to heal your angry heart: Tip 1: What anger does. Refusing to release our anger and resentments increases tension and stress, depletes energy, causes isolation, and prevents old wounds from healing. God explains in His word, “Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.” James 1:20   Step 2: Anger is a signal, not a solution. Burying your feelings is like leaving a trail of unexploded emotional dynamite. The Bible says, “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.” Eph. 4:26 Step 3: Bring your anger honestly to God. Pause – Pray – Surrender – Confess – Repent - – Release . Instead of reacting, you return to God. Bring your angry heart, your hurting heart, honestly to God. This is not suppression – this is surrender. Friend, you don’t have to stay imprisoned by your anger. If today’s message spoke to your heart, take a moment right now to pause and pray:  “Lord, thank You for forgiving me of my sins. God, I give you my reaction before it becomes regret.” [i]  Thank you for joining me, I am excited to be part of your journey.

    I Am Bitter - Part 1 - How Hate Hurts Hearts

    Let me know what you think! Today, I will share three tips about how God heals a bitter heart.  Tip 1: Understand what bitterness is and what happens when you don’t let go of it. Bitterness is emotional pain that hardens over time. Heb. 12:15, “See to it…that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble.” We learned the hard way that bitterness doesn’t stay small- it spreads. Tip #2: Bitterness seems protective but soon traps you. Bitterness feels like protection…but it becomes a prison. God has offered us His son, Jesus Christ, as payment for our sins. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, we are called to be merciful as our Heavenly Father is merciful. (Luke 6:36) Bitterness feels like protection…but it becomes a prison. Tip #3: Bring your hurt and bitterness honestly to God. This is so hard to do. It’s easier to stuff or run away from our feelings.  We can choose to forgive those who have offended or hurt us out of obedience to God. Luke 6:36 says, “and forgive others as we have been forgiven.” Step 1 for how to get rid of bitterness: Decide to forgive those who have hurt you.  Eph 3:12 God invites us to let Him renew us.  Step 2 for how to get rid of bitterness: Ask God to forgive you for any part you played in the offense. 1 John 1:9  Step 3 for how to get rid of bitterness: With God’s help, you can choose to forgive those who have hurt you. Forgiveness is God’s idea. Psalm 107:3 Bring your bitter heart, your hurting heart, honestly to God. This is not suppression – this is surrender.  Today’s unshakable truth: In Christ, you can be free from bitterness. It’s like praying “God, I give You what I cannot fix.” When we surrender, confess, repent, and repeat God works. Tip 1: Understand what bitterness is and what happens when you hold on to it. Bitterness doesn’t stay small – it spreads.Hebrews 12:15, “See to it…that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble.”  Tip 2: Bitterness seems protective but soon traps you. Bitterness feels like protection…but it becomes a prison. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, we are called to be merciful as our Heavenly Father is merciful. (Luke 6:36) Tip 3: Bring your hurt and bitterness honestly to God. Surrender is the first step to healing.  Step 1: Decide to forgive those who have hurt you.  Step 2: Ask God to forgive you for any part you played in the offense. 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."  Step 3: With God’s help, you can choose to forgive those who have hurt you. Friend, you don’t have to stay imprisoned by your bitterness. Pray, "Lord, thank you for forgiving me. I give you what I can't fix." Thank you for joining me, I am excited to be part of your journey.

    I Am Anxious - Part 2

    Let me know what you think! Are you worried? Are you overwhelmed by anxious, restless thoughts? Have you ever said, “I’ve always been a nervous person, I can’t change.” Today, I share three tips about how you can apply God’s truth to overcome anxiety and assure you can rest in His peace.  I remember as a young mom, I was anxious.  “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” —Psalm 23:1-6 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” —Revelation 21:4 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34 “Humble yourselves, then, under God’s mighty hand, so that he will lift you up in his own good time.  Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7 “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” Psalm 94:19 “But now, this is what the Lord says…Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” Is. 43:1 “An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.” Prov. 12:25 “Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid.” John 14:27 “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” Psalm 55:22 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Luke 12:7  “Do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.  Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.  Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?  Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” Luke 12:22-26 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalm 46:1-3 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.1 Peter 5:6-7: Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.Psalm 55:22 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths Proverbs 3:5-6: Remember God’s Word is your weapon to fight your anxiety – here’s a review of our three tips about how to overcome worry and anxiety with God’s word. Tip 1. Choose one verse that speaks to you. I know its hard to do but one verse can change your whole attitude. Tip 2. Write down the verse on a note, 3 x 5 card, or screen saver on your phone. Keep the card or verse handy where you can pray it during the day. Tip 3. Read your verse aloud every hour. Exchange your fear for faith — For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 Thank you for joining me, I am excited to be part of your journey.

If you’re a discouraged young mom, a depressed mid-life woman, or a despairing single or widow longing to feel chosen, seen, and whole again—this is your safe place.  Every Monday, in just 15 soul-refreshing minutes, you’ll trade condemnation for confidence, fear for freedom, and heartbreak for the unshakable love of Jesus. Hit subscribe, grab your coffee (or your tissues), and let the restoration begin. Come home to hope at www.sherylgt.com.
