HOW TO BELIEVE GOD

The enemy of your soul will never encourage you or speak life into who you are. The enemy will never affirm who you are becoming; instead, he tries to distract you or make you think your new name is earned and not given. The truth is, none of us can live “good enough” to earn a new name from God. God names us because of who He is and out of His love! When we hear painful lies from our past or when our old names or identities resurface, we need to ask, “Who is speaking this name over me?”

I used to hear things like, “You will never be married.” “No one will ever want you.” “You are not desirable.” And if we pause to think about these statements, we realize they are accusations. “You this, you that.” We wouldn’t look at ourselves in the mirror and talk like this to ourselves. When we hear dreadful accusations in the name-changing process, we can be sure it is the enemy and not God, trying to proclaim identities over us that have never been true.

So how can we discern the difference between these voices?

God’s voice is gentle and kind. God’s voice provides guidance. Even when God corrects us, He does so out of love (Hebrews 12:6). God’s kindness leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4), and God’s words will always match Scripture. God’s words are full of truth and show an everlasting kindness toward us (Jeremiah 31:3). God’s words sound like:

•You matter to someone (Psalm 139:17).

•You are not a mistake (Ephesians 4:1).

•You are loved (Psalm 86:5).
