THE DEVIL RUNS HARDEST AT TRUE IDENTITY

I believe you’re meant to fight.

I believe that right now the enemy wants more than ever to convince the called ones that our voice doesn’t matter. Or even that God wants us to be quiet!

I believe Satan is on an all out rampage to lie, steal, kill, and destroy DESTINY, yours, mine, those whom God has CHOSEN, and the enemy’s weapon of choice for leaders?

Shame, condemnation, a call to be small and careful, and a continual inner taunt of ‘not like that’.

“Don’t do it like that, you’re just trying to exalt yourself again”. (If you previously were all about building a ‘you’ thing)

“Don’t do it like that, you’re just being the same as everybody else anyway; so lame”. (If you’re a born revolutionary and this will hit PRIDE)

“Don’t do it like that, it’s not gonna land it’s still just not RIGHT”. (If you’ve a history of perfectionism)

“Don’t do it like that, you’re just being repetitive”. (If you didn’t yet fully own that the message is the message and OBVIOUSLY it just keeps being the message!)

“Don’t do it like that, it’s giving ‘who do you think you are vibes, SO embarrassing'”. (If identity and trusting God’s original design for you is a sore point)

Can I tell you?

I’VE BEEN ALL OF THESE. And more.

I went from being a self-made multi-millionaire for years, a ‘queen’ of the female entrepreneur world online and known as unapologetically me, the best, ‘untouchable’, all the while deep down knowing I was running from God, to surrendering and letting implode ALL of the counterfeit in and around me, and somewhere along the way?

The devil shoved his spiky Balenciaga shoe (iykyk) in and started convincing me I still wasn’t being good enough or right enough for God.

He worked with what my focal points now were.

Where previously he’d seduced and manipulated me with promises of fame, significance, worldly wealth, and that I’d finally be cool and enough, finally accepted and belong …

now he came at me with scripture and an endless series of hoops to jump through to prove I really was willing to give God my all.

And only THEN could I be significant, worthy, successful God’s way, then seen, accepted, and belong.

Same lies, different cover story.

And what did I do? I just kept drinking it up!

Convinced that dialling down more, waiting in trepidation and uncertainty to speak or even act, running scared of making the wrong move, not taking action because this was ‘trusting in God’ was … right.

Meanwhile when I did show up, it was a careful and scared version of me.

And I did not even clock that!

I didn’t clock that the lie I was falling for was ‘now I’m earning God’s favour. I’m proving I’m willing to do what it takes’.

Ahhhh … praise God for the binding and breaking off of that perfectionist spirit. Amongst others!

The ‘give’, if I would have seen it, was how down, disconnected, and honestly just disorientated I felt.

NOT peace.

And we do know that where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty and PEACE!

But instead I was accepting an idea that I might never quite get it right no matter how hard I try.

Eventually I thought – and assigned this to possibly being from God! – maybe I should just shut it (my online presence) all down. Turn it off. And walk way.

“Maybe God’s will for me is in a completely different way to being any kind of voice in the business or online world”.

I convinced myself this was a great and exciting truth! Side note I do know with certainty God IS calling me to step into territory unknown which is far different to what I already do, and indeed things have already begun unfolding that way! But no. That does not in fact mean disappearing quietly in what I do online.

My love,

THE DEVIL RUNS HARDEST AT OUR TRUE IDENTITY.

If he can’t get our identity as a saved by grace child of God, he will work fast and furious to twist what both these things mean, what it would look like if you were being a GOOD child, and viciously undermine the desires and vision and giftings God puts in you, telling you they’re wrong, and not like that, til you quit.

BUT GOD.

So how did I know??

It was the no PEACE thing.

I wasn’t living in peace. I was living in oppressive submission and suppression when it came to anything to do with my voice and calling as a leader, messenger, and vessel of God.

I had peace undeniable in other areas and the contrast was stark.

I was seeking the Lord for hours a day and it still wasn’t enough. His abundant life which is GIVEN just didn’t seem to quite be there in this area!

Now here is the thing. And the phewwwww moment we all need.

GOD was always going to bring me into truth. There was NEVER any actual risk or fear of me ‘missing it’. Because by His Spirit He leads us!!

And so,

simply,

HE DID.

As He always does and always will.

Here is your takeaway –

Don’t stop knocking. Don’t stop seeking. Don’t stop asking. Hammer on the door of heaven until you get that MANIFEST peace, certainty, clarity, and with it the joy and excitement of the Lord coursing through every part of you. Refuse to accept a state of being which is not biblically right for a child of the Most High! Learn to LISTEN. Really listen. The wait in stillness kind. The learn how to enter His presence kind. The relentless kind!

But know it truly is all HIM who is doing it.

Phewwww, girl! I gotta write a Part 2 to this, and go into the unfolding of the breakthrough. But for now I will just say this.

FIGHT.

Fight and call on the power of God to do so.

For your destiny.
For right identity.
For your future in every way.
And for your now.

Your voice is made of the Kingdom gorgeous.

And yes we do in fact need it.

Now don’t forget –

Life is Now. Press Play.

PS

The Leader Switch is here, and oh boy.

It could just be for you.

If what I wrote for you today hit you it is definitely for you!

And best of all, it is a thank you GOD thing for you, because when I tell you He adjusted something powerful in me just in WRITING it, well –

Just go and see what I mean.

I’ve designed this for the woman who is like me.

She knows she is called.
Has always known it.
Yet the weight of the glory she’s called INTO is CRUSHING when she tries to figure it out through her own strength, mind, will, ability.
She has questioned.
OH, how she has questioned!
Yet she has BUILT. OH, how she has built!
Success? Sure.
Yet somehow never the thing.
Somehow sabotage still present.
Somehow that voice still whispering way too often,
‘maybe it’s not you’.
And the true thing?
She’s wondered if she’ll ever fully step into it.
Yet she knows with certainty,
by the grace of God,
SHE CAN.

If this is you, hi, this is me.

And here is The Leader Switch.

OH yes it’s time!
