So Simple We Miss It

Children get it, don’t they? Where we  need theories and proof kids just know. Faith like a child is something adults should aspire to. I do!

I was sharing a lesson with early elementary age girls and the topic was peace. Simply put, peace is the absence of worry. I explained that worry is not from God. When they start thinking about what if’s they should stop and remember the source. One girl raised her hand and said, “I know—if I start to worry I know it’s the devil and I just say ‘Jesus, throw him out!”

I love it. It’s truth so simple we miss it.

Are you able to do like my pint-size friend? When the worries come can you proclaim in Jesus’ name that the worries and their source are not welcome?

I challenge you to take it a step further.

I know for me the chain usually goes from worry, to fear of failure, then feeling like a failure. That’s the strategy of the devil and it doesn’t change because we keep falling for it. His end goal is to make you feel defeated. 

Look around.

Too many of us are falling for that lie.

So when that cycle starts with worry, start proclaiming.

Worry is not welcome, in Jesus’ name.

The source of that worry is not welcome, in Jesus’ name.

I am not defeated, in Jesus’ name.

The real name of the devil (and he does not want you to know this let alone proclaim it) is the defeated one.

Get out of here true defeated one, in Jesus’ name.

It’s that simple.

Don’t miss it.
