Who Will You Believe
Have you ever found yourself listening to the wrong voice? I know I have. For me, it shows up in my body as headaches, heaviness, and weariness that I can’t always explain. One day, I remembered a story an older lady told me. She said she stayed sick for years until she finally started walking in her gift. The moment she stepped into her calling, her health began to change.
That stuck with me because I can’t shake the feeling that my headaches are connected to me not walking fully in my purpose. I know my gift is in my voice. Yet, how many times have I allowed fear, doubt, and the opinions of others to silence me?
The Enemy’s Lies
The enemy would love nothing more than for me to sit quietly, broken, and believing that I have no power. He whispers lies: “You’re not enough. Nobody’s listening. You’re wasting your time.” And I’ll be honest—sometimes I’ve believed those lies more than the truth GOD already declared about me.
But when I really think about it, how dare I let the enemy’s opinion override what GOD says? The same GOD who created me, who gave me breath, who called me fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). The same GOD who told me I am the head and not the tail, above and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13).
Walking in Calling, Not Fear
When I sit back and shrink, I’m not just delaying my own breakthrough—I’m silencing the very voice GOD wants to use to bless others. My calling isn’t about me. It’s about who GOD wants to reach through me. Every time I choose silence over speaking, doubt over faith, or fear over courage, I hand the enemy a victory he doesn’t deserve.
2 Timothy 1:7 reminds me: “For GOD has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” If I belong to Him, then fear has no place.
Where Is My Faith?
I had to ask myself: Where is my faith? Where is the boldness I once had? The truth is, I let the opinions of people—those I know and those I don’t—get inside my head. I let their voices ring louder than GOD’s.
But today, I choose differently. I choose to stand on what GOD says about me. I choose to believe His promises. I choose to walk in my calling, no matter how my body feels, no matter what people think.
A Word for You
Maybe you’re like me—feeling the weight of doubt, fear, or even sickness pressing on you. Could it be that your breakthrough is tied to stepping into your gift? Could it be that your healing is waiting on the other side of your obedience?
Don’t give the enemy your ear. Don’t let him tell you who you are. Lift your voice. Step into your calling. Walk in faith, not fear.
Because the truth is this: when you walk boldly in what GOD created you to do, the enemy loses every time.
