Bruised Heels Crushing the Serpent's Head

Sitting alone in my room one time, hands between my laps, phone tucked away, the world was far from reach, I slipped into depression. And again and again, I wept. 

The pain I felt was deep and sharp. I didn't want to give up yet but there I was, shivering under the weight of heavy sobs. I was seeing my old self resurfacing. I was a mess. I panicked. 

The tears ran their course unhindered. I didn't know what to do with myself because I feared I would once again become that person who hated to be here. I feared the past would win me over and repeat itself.

Although, someone has gone through this for my sake, and was bruised. It shouldn't be a repeat for me.

"...he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." - Isaiah 53:5

What was shocking was the still small voice that eventually managed to find its way into the raucous, pushed aside every hurtful detail, and provided solace. 

His words came as a rushing tap, stilling my raging soul. 

I began quoting the Word of God, letting His peace and calm wash over me like fresh rain.

I announced my position in Christ, and my inheritance in God. I declared that I wasn't who the serpent thought I was. I was who God made me to be. So, I stopped bargaining with him. The pains disappeared as fast as they came. 

In times when life seems to be slipping away from our grasp, we should learn to let it go and let the Word of God in. 

This is the light that shines in darkness but darkness cannot comprehend. The devil has missed the memo. He cannot understand it. That is the mystery of God's pronouncement from the beginning. 

My words to you today is that the Holy Spirit is our succour. 

Only speak the Word into that situation! Bask in the euphoria of Christ's finished works! Maximize the presence of God's spirit! The rewards of bruising the serpent's head will not be far-fetched!

Lift up your eyes to the hills, from whence comes your help? It can only come from God.

 

Love,

Have a blessed week.❤️
